Ceci N'Est Pas Un Oiseau
By Dominic McGonigal, arranged by Dominic McGonigal
For Flute solo (2022), 3'10" mins.
Instruments: Flute solo
Having discovered that audiences invariably associate the flute with birds, James Brinkmann challenged composers to write a solo piece that overturns that pre-conception. Ceci N'Est Pas Un Oiseau is the answer, a lyrical work where the single line creates harmonies, especially in the warm tones in the lower register of the instrument. 3'10".
