“Have fun with this one!”
Adolphus Hailstork has produced a work for two flutes and piano that pays hommage to the writing of the nineteenth century stalwarts while taking it onto a completely different level. These butterflies fly around in traditional harmonies which are spiked with barbs of dissonance, dovetail over a larger range and with more energy, and interact with the accompaniment which is now a much more important part of the texture. The result is a virtuoso piece that perfectly encapsulates the title. Have fun with this one!
From the Publisher
CIRCUS BUTTERFLIES is exhilarating! It may be hard to imagine music perfectly matching this fantasy title, but Hailstork continues to amaze with his versatility, inventing fresh approaches for each new piece. In CIRCUS BUTTERFLIES, amusing and fluttering textures are evoked by plenty of double-tonguing, playful winks between all three performers, and brilliantly engaging levity.
