Jax Mecanique for Flute Choir

From the Publisher

A very unique piece which was premiered at the 2013 NFA Convention in New Orleans. From the program notes: "The piece is based on a short melodic riff written by Mrs. Stacey Steele [Associate Professor of Flute and Music Education at Slippery Rock University (Slippery Rock, PA)] after visiting a factory in Germany in 2007. Upon seeing the coordination and rhythmic movements of the automated machinery in the factory, she had an idea for a piece where the players would perform choreographed motions emulating the factory machinery while they played." Instrumentation: Piccolo, 6-12 C Flutes (3 parts, 2-4 players each), 2 Alto Flutes, 2 Bass Flutes, Piano (optional), Percussion 3 players (anvils, crotales, improvised beer bottle percussion, large cymbal, metal barrel/beer keg, long PVC pipes, tam-tam, drum set), String Bass (amplified) or Electric Bass
