From the Publisher
A warm welcome to the first published edition of Soft Rain and White Staircase each of which can be viewed as an independent piece. Further information is likely to appear on Ian's website including possible reference audio clips so a visit might answer a number of questions. Check under the publications sections or do a search if you can't find what you're looking for.
Soft Rain - performance notes:
The title Soft Rain attempts to hint at some essence of the piece however it is not a programmatic title. The piano part has liquid quality above which the flute gestures and sings. One might think of Summer rain falling on a beautiful stream or river. Alternatively you may wish to experience it entirely as a personal response to the music directly. The music is the most articulate description of itself.
White Staircase - performance notes:
In memory of Averil Williams 1939-2018. Professor of flute at the Guildhall School of Music for 50 years.
Thank you Averil on behalf of so many.
The title White Staircase gives some hint of the feelings and thoughts one might experience through the piece. There is a clear sense of cyclic ascension in the ascending 5's in the piano hence 'staircase'. The flautist in particular is encouraged to explore a variety of colour and texture; white light comprises all the colours of the spectrum.
