Julium

for alto flute (2019)

complete performance:

Conor Nelson, alto flute

Program note:

Julium is a thumbnail-portrait of my six-year-old daughter, Julia. I hope to capture some of her ebullience, thoughtfulness, inquisitive nature, and physical grace. As a nod to her nascent studies on the cello, the Allemande of Bach’s first suite (BWV 1007) is referenced on occasion.
