“Brutal and raucous!”

Chris Hankin Just Flutes staff member - [email protected]
Rapid Fire is a real tour-de-force, requiring advanced technical skills and a great deal of stamina. Jennifer Higdon is a flute player so she knows what's possible on the instrument, and here she really expands and challenges those skills. It is relentless in it's pursuit of exciting colours, bravura changes of texture and intensity of direction. If you can play it 'brutal and raucous' to the end you will have played brilliantly and definitely deserve a drink!

From the Publisher

This work is supposed to be brutal and raucous. Quite a bit of the piece is made up of sounds achieved by alternate fingerings or altered timbres due to over blowing. At imes, the palyer is asked to actually read notation on several different levels: fingerings at a certain speed, tonguing at a different speed, while altering the air pressure (speed). All unusual markings in the music ar explained at the bottomw of the page where they are first encountered.

Performance duration (approx): 7'

Difficulty guide: 9
Difficulty level, roughly compared to ABRSM exam grades. 0 is total beginner, 9 is advanced (beyond grade 8).
