Mystic Cadenza
Composed by William Hill
For Solo Native American Flute
Published by JP Publications
Program Notes:
This piece for solo flute is selected from my chamber work, Mystic Visions, Spiritual Echoes for Native Flute, Viola, and two Percussionists with large set-ups. Its title is taken from a quote by Native American Frank Howell, one of my favorite visual artists. Frank's mystic and spiritual paintings have long been an inspiration for my music for many reasons, but especially for his ability to combine ideas and techniques that transport us beyond any verbal explanation. My dear friend Jim Pellerite has inspired me in a similar manner; he has taken the Native Flute to an equally elevated place. This piece is his arrangement of the mysterious and haunting solo cadenzas from Mystic Visions, Spiritual Echoes, and he has captured the essence of these sections beautifully.
His recording of this work is included on the CD, Mystic Voices Soaring.
