One work, Gina Genova's for Solo Flute, was recovered during the creation of the anthology. Two works are relatively well-known; attendees or followers of the National Flute Association will recognize Marilyn Bliss's Murali from NFA competitions, and fans of Nina Assimakopoulos will recognize Margaret Fairly-Kennedy's Spirit Man from the performances that bloomed after Assimakopoulos's 2015 album Vayu was released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the perspective of a western classical flutist, all nine works are attractive and share a general attention to motivic development. None are strictly atonal, though several works (Bliss's Encounter, Ann Silsbee's Three Chants) develop more through structure than through natural or synthetic diatonicism. Sarah Meneely-Kyder's Air and Water drift melodically; the first improvisationally, the second song-like. The most recent work, Joyce Hope Suskind's Celebration, stands out as a rich venture into a late Baroque\/early Classical style.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorks:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAustin: Sonata for Solo Flute (1991)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBliss: Encounter (1975)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBliss: Phantom Breeze (1994)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/bliss-murali-2004\"\u003eBliss: Murali (2004)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenova: For Solo Flute (1993)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFairlie-Kennedy: Spirit Man (2003)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeneely-Kyder: Air and Water (1996)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilsbee: Three Chants (1974)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuskind: Celebration (2015)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"American Composers Alliance (ACA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42310585090127,"sku":"ACA-ANTH-016","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/cd1de157307d2cb0262ff442e1a689cf.webp?v=1780074405"},{"product_id":"bliss-murali-aca","title":"Bliss: Murali","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/marilyn-bliss\"\u003eMarilyn Bliss (1954-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eFlute\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/bliss-murali-2004\"\u003eMurali (2004)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e9.0\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e12.0\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eComposer's Note:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen asked by Nina Assimakopoulos to write a short piece for flute inspired by literature, my attention turned to the many depictions of Krishna playing the flute that one can see by strolling through the streets of my multicultural neighborhood of Jackson Heights in Queens, New York. Murali is the name of Krishna's flute. in Hindu cosmology and tales, such as those set forth in Robert Calasso's book Ka, Krishna plays his flute at the first full moon of autumn. It is a very alluring, seductive melody, and it calls to the female cowherds (the gopis), who are all in love with Krishna. At the sound of Krishna's flute, they come out of their dwellings and dance, surrounding Krishna. The dancing becomes more and more fevered, when suddenly Krishna disappears before their eyes. Soon they once more hear the murali, from a location just beyond the horizon. Is he calling them, or taunting them? The gopis can never decide, but Krishna is always in their hearts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"American Composers Alliance (ACA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43894965698639,"sku":"ACA-BLIS-001","price":13.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/f4d106fb03239c595fc300a3767d4029.webp?v=1780075055"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/collections\/bliss-murali-2004.oembed","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
