Programme Note

'Amistad' (the Spanish word for friendship) is a brief set of three pieces for two flutes written in May 2013. It takes its form from the three syllables of the word a-mi-stad. The first piece begins on the note A and the second piece on E (-mi-) and the final movement has four sections of equal length which take the individual letters as their respective starting points; S (Eb/D#), T (B), the return of A and then D. It is dedicated to Thierry Fischer in thanks for all his support over the last few years and Emmanuel Pahud in anticipation of his performance of my flute concerto; 'Morpheus Wakes'. The piece as a whole is about 6' long.
