Leg (2020)
for solo flute
Leg is a portrait, though it would be best not to disclose its subject.
The impetus for the piece was a need to channel some long-held frustration felt by many in the community, myself included. This frustration resulted in what is essentially an 'inside joke' between friends.
It is partly based on some unfinished pre-compositional material given to me by a friend who briefly studied composition in 2017, as well as the John Jacob Niles song ‘Little Black Star’.
