Deeper, Deeper

Three Plus Flutes for three soprano with opt. 4th/ob. with alto and bass. Opening with the upper two parts and then adding the lower voices gravitating to a block harmonic structure. The middle section starts with lower voices using a extraneous motif and stacked with upper voices doing the same in imitation. Then with more vigor all voices join in block harmonies until the final section where again imitation takes place until the final block harmonies take place.

Three Plus Flutes for three soprano with opt. 4th/ob. with alto and bass & piccolo. An introduction using unrelated material leads the tune presented in voice two, supported by harmonies in the lower voices, then an obbligato-like motion added by the upper voice. A modulation upward makes room for a duet in the upper lines, later joined by the lower voices in a contrapuntal fashion. The final section becomes more vigorous and imitative until a solid, declamatory ending.

Three Plus Flutes for three soprano with opt. 4th/ob. with alto and bass & piccolo. The piece gins in a spritely duet in the upper voices and reverses roles with the lower voices carrying the melody and duet lines. All four voices now join in a smooth, serene fashion until it gains dynamic and harmonic strength. A modulation upward with the tune in voice two, and an obbligato-like movement in part one, while the lower parts underpin with a simplistic, though active line. In the last section the parts become more active and excitement abounds until a final flourish establishes the end.
