Apres Syrinx (Flute Alone)

Apres Syrinx (Flute Alone) by Sharon Monis

In this piece, sounds are in a continuous interaction with space. It is a mystical feeling accompanied by structural actions, revealed through structure, melodic lines, silences, rhythm, etc.

For this piece, a B-foot is needed. The structure is based on one big whole divided into non-structural sections. The main melodic line is based on the notes: E-B-Eb-D-C#-A. The silences, posted all over the work, have the significance of energy or breathing, which can be shorter or larger, but always as part of the character of the melodic line that precedes or continues. The upper tones must sound clean but deep, soft but intense. It represents the highest definition of the fulfillment of the main melodic line. The middle tones should be sweeter, while the lower tones should be deep and, in the final section, with soft air.
