Escapade (2024)

Duration: 8m

Escapade for Flute Quartet is a piece that uses it's repetition to its advantage. The climax of the first theme is withheld until the final time it is heard, creating the feeling of greatly increasing the excitement of it's arrival. The challenges of this piece lie in its elegant simplicity, as all players are forced to play in very exposed passages. This piece was commissioned by Abby Von Ohlen for her Senior Flute Recital at UD.
