Serenade for Flute and Harp (Set of Score and Parts)

Daniel Dorff

When commissioned by the celebrated Sparx Duo, Dorff's thoughts immediately went to the French medieval style that had so captured his attention in his college days. The resulting five-movement duo reflects the music of the period and includes as the fourth movement a statement of the 14th-century love song "Helas! Je voy mon cuer a fin venir" by Solage. Dorff's neo-medieval sound is full of plaintive lyricism and driving dance rhythms. Each of the five movements may be performed individually for special occasions, as well as in recital as a 16-minute suite. For advanced performers.______________________________________Text from the scanned back cover:SERENADE for Flute and HarpCommissioned by the celebrated Sparx Duo, Daniel Dorff’s SERENADE is a five-movement journey inspired by the sonorities of medieval instrumental music, and in particular by the 14th-century love song “Helas!
