Concerto for Flute and Strings - (2022) ![](images/01_Little_Green_Dot.gif)
A jovial, changing meter first movement begins with the hemiola-as-opening gambit, before the exposition in high divisi strings sing out their theme, which then becomes accompaniment to a sol flute line which will layer atop it. Key changes and register alterations ornament the whole.

The presto at an end, a lento changes the mood, with simple dyad scales in the related harmonic minor and in succeeding lower registers provide the ground for a long lined flute solo, somber in comparison to the first movement.

A cadenza follows with some embedded contrapuntal features, to which then are added divisi strings again, before a final movement adds further to the texture.

An andante brings sonorous tutti strings together as the cadenza ends, and introduces the last movement.

At the allegretto, a contrapuntal romp for all voices breaks out and carries through with elements from the preceding movements mixed in, to the final bright C major cadence.
