Flute Fantasia "The Birthday Piece" Flute Fantasia was written in October 1998 for Louise Taylor's 16th Birthday (hence its second title). The main theme is modal creating a folk-like atmosphere with a 'jazzy' middle section. Both the Flute & piano parts are quite difficult making the piece a great 'encore' number. I was recently informed of a performance in Estonia in which it was used for a competition. I have also performed the piece a number of times with Louise, most recently at Voices Anon's Summer Concert of 2005 (recording is attached to this page). The original premier was at St. Mary's Church Slough in concert on the 3/7/99 with me on piano and Louise Taylor on flute.
