My Faith Has Found a Resting Place
An accompanied flute solo which begins with the flute alone. The second phrase is together. The following phrase as a more active accompaniment giving a flowing feeling.

Written in a “rhapsodic” style with free treated variations, including 5/4 and 6/8 times, along with very unusual rhythmic counterpoint, this creative work will be a highlight with audiences and performers!
