Chamber Music Flute(s) SKU: PR.164001730 For Eight Flutes. Composed by Peter Schickele. Classical. Set of Score and Parts. With Standard notation. Duration 8:30. Theodore Presser Company #164-00173. Published by Theodore Presser Company (PR.164001730). UPC: 680160036998.In 1959 Peter Schickele composed a flute octet for Albert Tipton’s students at Aspen; long before the medium of flute ensemble became a growing genre, Schickele prophetically explored the colors of 8 flutes together, and in places developed textures anticipating later developments toward minimalism; Philip Glass was one of the flutists in the ensemble premiering MONOCHROME I. After several more works in this series for other instruments, in 1982 Schickele composed MONOCHROME V for the same instrumentation, a much longer work with more developed exploration of minimalist counterpoint and its relationship to J.S. Bach. Both works are fascinating to hear and play!
