Composed by Phil Beaman. 20th Century,New Age,Spiritual. Score and parts. 4 pages. Phil Beaman #740680. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.1140429).This duet is a Meditation for Alto Flute and Cello. The current media call this style of music "Spiritual Minimalism". This particular composition utilizes the centering 'ah' of Buddhism, the meditative resting periods of Zen, the plainchant of Christianity, the minimalism of New Age, and more. My inspiration for the melodic line is the 3 main words in the traditional Ave Maria text; "Ave" (Hail) higher in the staff for celebration, "Gratia" (Grace) mid-staff for acceptance, and "Dominus" (God) low in the staff for humility. The melodic range for Flute is thus quite large - a full two octaves, from Db above the staff to Eb on the bottom line. The cello accompaniment is the same in every bar of the entire piece; a circling minimalist 2 chord broken triad ostinato. Whether for personal meditation or public performance, this piece will relax, focus, and recharge all who perform it and hear it. 2 pages; 3:00 minutes (presented in a condensed single staff score with the Cello part notated in the introduction then the score switches to the Flute part with instructions for the Cello to repeat that measure for the remainder of the song. 2 copies provided in download.).
