Description
Desert Dusk
Composed by Daniel Dorff
For Alto Flute and Cello
Published by Theodore Presser
Duration: ca. 9 minutes
Includes score and parts
A visit to Desert Hot Springs in California's Coachella Valley was the inspiration for Dorff's 9-minute DESERT DUSK, scored for the strikingly rich duo of Alto Flute and Cello. The music begins by reveling in the Eden-like beauty and mimicking a distant mourning dove, interrupted by a dramatic windstorm which then gives way to the desert sunset. DESERT DUSK is a unique addition to the Alto Flute's chamber and recital repertory.
