Stealing Silence for Flute and Marimba

From the Publisher

Stealing Silence was written for the renowned flutist Bonita Boyd, Professor of Flute at the Eastman School of Music. The first movement, X remix, is a reworking of material that I previously used for a solo piece and wanted to explore it in the chamber setting. It is characterized by animated musical language with frequent syncopation creating with energetic and bouncy dialogue between the marimba and flute. Movement 2 is an evocative  ballad and greatly influenced by the music of the American composer Alec Wilder, and his beautiful work for marimba flute. The final movement, Flashback, is a fun romp between the two instruments employing a pseudo- blues scale, creating a sort of swagger in its  musical countenance.
