Aurelian Echoes

Description

Harvey Sollberger’s Aurelian Echoes, for flute and alto flute duet, is a large work in an unusually (for the composer) tonal idiom.

‘Harvey Sollberger’s Aurelian Echoes provided a light-hearted (but not lightweight) change. A perpetual motion for two flutes, this work was inspired, according to the composer’s fanciful program notes, by his experiences of life in Rome. Once set in motion, this entertaining composition generally maintains a regular pace that is occasionally interrupted by rhythmic changes; the work ends with the suggestion of a Roman church bell, followed by the wail of a Roman police siren.’

– Peter Jacobi (The Bloomington Herald-Times).

For advanced players.
