Jazz Concertino (Solo Flute and Flute Choir)

Senchuk had long held a desire to venture into the jazz realm in composing, and his new Concertino was the perfect excuse. Though he avoids any use of improvisation, he says he “relied heavily on jazz melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic structures.” The Concertino opens with a long, free solo, encouraging the artist's individuality, with the ensemble slowly gaining ground as the work progresses.
