Fortescue

For flute quartet, c.5'15
Piccolo, two flutes in C and alto flute

The Fortescue River passes through hard desert country; gravel beds and sandbanks shaped by wind and water, isolated deep pools, flat open sections of intertwining river courseways that become sticky with red clay after rain, trees thinly dispersed, or clustered in sheltered pockets around the bases of rocky outcrops.  A quartet of Flutes present the rugged spectacle of this ancient landscape in a series of vignettes, some playful, and others sombre.
Composed 2019
