Composed by Zachary C. Daniels. Contemporary. Score and parts. 18 pages. Divisi Labs #2062381. Published by Divisi Labs (A0.1010668).Descent to Madness is a work written to feature flute accompanied by prepared piano, marimba, and assorted percussion that was composed by on commission from a colleague, Emily Keeling, for a capstone recital. This piece explores and pushes musical confines, clearly innovating preconceived boundaries for piano and flute alike. The opening melody is written in a more classical style with some twists that foreshadow the rest of the piece. The piano part descends with the flute as if the flute is descending and dragging the pianist down with it. The flute solo adds more complexity and extended techniques as the piece progresses, further simulating more folly as the flutist departs from classical styles of playing and descends into a state of compositional madness. The end is the acceptance of having descended and, in the end, acceptance of a new beginning.
