“Unusual.”
It isn't often that a flute quartet will contain four solo movements but that is exactly how this piece works. Each of the solos is improvisatory in style with plenty of scope for individual interpretation, and they all highlight the character of each instrument. The quartet 'Fenway' is closely linked to the fourth solo 'Fenway Overture' creating a more structured feel towards the end of the piece. Giving each performer a chance to shine is a great idea and it allows the audience time to hear each colour separately before all the instruments play together. Unusual but very good.
From the Publisher

The work is influenced by the paintings of Boston-based African American artist, Allan Rohan Crite.
