Fantasia (v. 2014) for flute and piano

"Fantasia" (2014) was originally composed for the superb saxophonist (and clarinetist), Doug Masek. .When the marvelous flutist, Rik Noyce, heard the piece he declared that he wanted to perform it on flute. With its mood shifts, rhythmic changes, and harmonic and melodic surprises, it is a challenging and fun piece for both the flutist and the pianist. Too often, the piano is left as a step-child to the solo instrument. This work explores the colors of both instruments, has jazz and Latin influences and challenges the players to listen to one another. In the spring of 2013, the wonderful alto saxophonist and DMA student at USC AND student of Doug Masek, Chika Inoue, performed the new version for alto sax with Mary Au, pianist. In 2014, the wonderful flutist, Rik Noyce, asked me to compose a version for C Flute. Rik gave the Canadian premiere in June of 2015 and has performed it numerous times in the U.S.
