Strata I for solo flute

Duration: approx. 5 minutes.

Composed by William Price, for solo flute. 1 Full Score. Contemporary Classical. 3 pages. 11 x 8½ inches, Booklet. Published by IROM Music Publishing.

Strata I (1997) explores the relationship between wide intervallic leaps within fast, rhythmic passages. Microtonal gestures, glissandos, and irregular vibrato are combined in the beginning to achieve a contrast in gesture and timbre. The extreme range and versatility of the flute is explored in the following sections, where long, flowing melodies are interrupted by rhythmically chaotic material.

This work was premiered by flutist Sarah Berg on April 26, 1998 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and received first prize in the 1999 Southeastern Composers League Composition Contest.

Recording available: Music for Solo Flute, Iwona Glinka flautist, Magni Publications, CD-0002, 2003.
