“More quirky Grethen”
Chris Hankin Just Flutes staff member - [email protected]
Luc Grethen took his inspiration for this piece from the beat of an old clock and the metronomic nature of this interesting trio really reflects this. It's fun to play, with the unusual harmonies adding crunch to the simple rhythmic drive.This is a very good piece for improving chamber music skills with a sense of humour - invaluable!
From the Publisher
TICK-TACK - A clock is not merely a measuring instrument, which
indicates a precise moment in time or measures a certain lapse of
time. A clock can also be an inspiration for a piece of music and
thus the regular ticking of a clock is at the centre of this work for
three flutes. The idea came to the composer while listening to the
beat of an old clockwork mechanism. Its regular beat is represen-
ted by an insistent 8th note movement running on incessantly in
all three flutes.
