Maya

‘Maya’ for Two Flutes and Piano composed by Ian Clarke

A beautifully dreamy and accessible piece using a few note bends.  A good double-tonguing workout for each part with both lines sharing the soaring melody.   Apart from the expressive use of open holes the parts proceed with alternating arching melodies and bubbling semi-quaver passages. The title ‘maya’ is in reference to the meaning ‘illusion’ as opposed to the South American civilisation.
