Product Description

Evanescent (adj.) a fleeting moment of beauty, like a whisper of mist at dawn or a firefly's brief glow, here for an instant before fading away.

Evanescent is heavily influenced by  Chinese musical idioms to honour the memory of the composer's deceased grandmothers. The piece begins with bated breath, transitioning to a wistful theme on the bass flute. Out of the grief, a bright melody emerges, recalling the innocence of childhood. The return of the first theme overlaps with the second, turning the carefree tune into a bittersweet recollection. The introduction returns like a sigh, and the time I had with my grandmothers vanishes into silence. 

This piece is suitable for an intermediate flute ensemble or choir.
