Abandon
Flute | 2015 | 6'
Composed for Robin Meiksins
Premiere:
Robin Meiksins, flute. Auer Hall, Indiana University, Sept. 27, 2015.
Abandon is a short piece for flute in the form of a fantasia. I enjoyed getting to work with an excellent performer who allowed me to experiment with different ideas in the composition of the piece. When I look back on this piece, it is clear to me that the relationships composers build with performers are of the utmost importance and central to the field of new music.
