Variations and Scherzo

Description

Matt Doran’s Variations and Scherzo for Large Flute Ensemble s scored for 2 piccolos, 3 C flutes, 2 altos, 1 bass, and 1 contrabass. It thoroughly utilizes the warmth and colors of the flute orchestral sound. By layering the voices, Doran creates intricate rhythmic diversions that are not overly demanding for the individual player. There is something of interest to play for all voices, but parts can be assigned to accommodate a variety of skill levels within the ensemble. The harmonies are lush and pleasing, and the variations are imaginative and contrasting. This is a substantive addition to any flute ensemble program. Includes score and parts.
