Ruby St. Nola for Flute Trio

Valerie Coleman writes like the wonderful flute player she is, and this trio does not disappoint. It really grabs the attention right from the start with a 'fast rip' cascade of notes. Textural rather than tuneful, the whole piece is a rhythmically strong, the note ranges moderate and the extended techniques easily absorbed, so the focus will be on making sure that the interweaving individual lines are balanced well. It's great to tackle such well written flute music and it will certainly enhance any performance.
