These sonorities, with their slowly shimmering quality, have a special, bell-like sound. The violin chords are played multiphonically, creating a truly effective vehicle for flutistic virtuosity. An exciting challenge. A quartet for four flutists composed in multiphonic style. Multiple trills and tremolos, Indian flute-style glissandi, percussive sounds and other sonorities are used to create a wide sonic panorama.
Instruments needed are four concert flutes, two piccolos, alto flute and two bass flutes.
