Description:
Concerto For Flute And Orchestra. Study Score edition. First performed at the Flanders Festival in Brussels 12th October 2001. Composer's Notes:
I have been very familiar with the flute since my earliest pieces. I like the sound in which breathing is ever present and with timbral possibilities that befit my musical language: the instrument's body makes it possible to write phrases that go through grinding textures coloured with phonemes whispered by the flutist which gradually go towards pure and smooth sounds.
