Roominatingfor flute and guitar

I. The Living RoomII. The Atticru. The Bedroom

Durat ion: ca. 10 min

Program note:

One of my goals while writing "Roominating" was to reflect that guitarist Denis Azabagic and flutist EugeniaMoliner, who commissioned the piece, are a married couple. (This seems like such an intimate and special bondfor chamber musicians to share.) I wanted the music to be comfortable and natural, and for the instruments toseem like they're just being themselves and, above all, not worried about impressing each other. Taking thisnotion a bit further, I decided to base the movements on the feel of different rooms in a house. The music in"I. The Living Room" is elegant and organized, just as this room tends to be the most presentable and public."II. The Attic" is the exact opposite, and contains junk of various size and degrees of use. Finally, In"III. The Bedroom" the music is the most free and intimate, and a touch nocturnal.

Commissioned by the Cavatina Duo (Denis Azabagic and Eugenia Moliner), and funded by the Howard BrinArts Endowment, the Minnesota Guitar Society, and the Upper Midwest Flute Association.
