Mclearnon, G - Cosmic Dawn for flute orchestra

First premiered at the Australian Flute Festival in Brisbane in July 2017 - this piece is in two parts - a slow, moody, primordial beginning, where a dark ritualistic, bass (and optional contrabass) flute melody sets the scene with Jet Whistle accompaniment. Then what follows is a super rhythmic and angular groove, guaranteed to energise and thrill the participants as well as the audience! The final section of the piece is without a doubt the richest and most complex flute writing I've undertaken to date.

Instrumentation:
Flute Parts x 4 (2 advanced - 2 intermediate)
Alto Flute x 1 (2 players preferred)
Bass Flute (optional contra) x 1
