Program Notes
“Conversations Continued” for alto flute and clarinet by Faye-Ellen Silverman
When Voices of Change, a contemporary music group in Dallas, chose to perform an early work of mine, Conversations, for alto flute and clarinet, I asked if they would let me write a companion piece for the same concert. Conversations Continued is this piece, written from the perspective of 36 years later – a then and now on the topic of a dialogue between alto flute and clarinet. This new work is meant to be short, light and playful. The underlying ideas are based on how two people interrelate. The three miniature movements are called Introductions, Competition, and Old Friends.
