“Exciting music!”
Cynthia Folio writes in wide variety of styles and here she uses her imaginative skills to showcase those of really imaginative musicians. There is plenty of interest and challenge in all parts with the extended techniques used quite sparingly to add an extra and often unexpected texture to the writing. Zephyr is characterised by crunchy harmonies, swirls of notes and angular rhythms, Zenith is calmer and more beguiling, and Zawa! is frenetic, so much fun and would make a great encore. This is a really exciting work that audiences will be talking about for a long time after the event!

Z3 for Two Flutes and Piano by Cynthia Folio. This work was commissioned by the PA Music Teachers Association and dedicated to and premiered by ZAWA (Claudia Anderson & Jill Felber). The three Z's in this work are: Zephyr; Zenith; and Zawa! The first movement is virtuosic and is inspired by the sound and power of the wind. The second movement highlights the duo's lyricism; itis introspective and builds slowly to a single “zenith.” The third movement reflects the fun side of the duo; it is based on salsa rhythms, at times combined polyrhythmically, and ends with a typical montuno (the final up-tempo part of a Cuban son). In three movements: Zephyr, Zenith, and Zawa!
