This inspiring 4½-minute solo has drama, beauty, idiomatic flashiness, and an opening theme in minor that comes back in a triumphant major key. The composer has written, “FLIGHT begins slowly, then suddenly takes off like a bird on its maiden voyage leaping from a cliff. After a torrid swing through the sky, the young bird lands gently.” FLIGHT is within reach of dedicated students, and very effective for professional recitals.
In 2015, the flute virtuoso Laurel Zucker released an album called Lil Lite O’ Mine: Flute Music by Composers of African Descent. I was honored to have a couple of pieces included on that album.Recently I decided to write a new piece dedicated to Laurel. That piece called FLIGHT begins slowly and then suddenly takes off like a bird on its maiden voyage leaping from a cliff. After a torrid swing through the sky, the young bird lands gently.
