Dialogues
Composed by Martha Stoddard
for two flutes or two alto flutes
Score only

Dialogues are just that. These duets explore possibilities for two flutes in conversation. The first movement is mock-serious, using a declamatory style with wide leaps and quasi-recitatives. The second is a playful odd-meter jaunt. It is followed by an eerie segment in common time. The third movement concludes with a robust, sonorous allegro.
