Backbeat
Composer: Johnson, Seth
Instrumentation: Quartet Instruments: Flute
Genre: ContemporaryWritten for Campbellsville University's Quarteto Gracioso as a showpiece, this work was largely inspired by pop, R&B, and jazz influences. Following a basic rondo format, the theme is presented in a typical verse-chorus set up with the episodes in full out blues style. The second flute part is written in a way to allow the performer room to incorporate improvised beat-box techniques. This piece is sure to awaken the inner hip-hop artists of the audience and performers.

Blood Vapour
Composer: Boots, Cornelius
Instrumentation: Quartet Instruments: Alto Flute, Bass Flute, Flute
Genre: Contemporary2 Flutes, Alto Flute and Bass Flute
The fourth part of the Chthonic Flute Suite commissioned by Areon Flutes in 2012. This suite has two main inspirations: ideologically it draws guidance from the book The Dream and the Underworld (1979)by James Hillman (1926-2011) and musically it explores the textural possibilities of a flute ensemble within the context of the “heavy chamber music” style I have developed with Edmund Welles: the bass clarinet quartet since 1996.
The quartet is divided into three sections: Thymos—Phrenes—Chthonios.
Thymos means “blood vapour” and is one of the elements that souls of the dead in the underworld completely lack, therefore they crave it and seek it out; they also lack “breath consciousness” or phrenes.
The term “chthonic” [thon-ik] generally means “underworld.” However, Hillman thoroughly elaborates that its true meaning extends “below the earth and beyond it” (p.36) into invisible, non-physical and far distant psychic realms as opposed to being limited to a “primitive earthiness” that limits us to the physical and fertile “underground.” Hillman weaves a captivating and expanded perspective on “chthonic” and the deeper mysteries of the invisible, drawing from such sources as Greek and Egyptian mythology, Freud, Nietzsche, and more. “The underworld is a realm of only psyche, a purely psychical world…underworld is the mythological style of describing a psychological cosmos. Put more bluntly: underworld is psyche.” (p.46)

Dry Bones
Composer: Traditional Arranger: Buss, Howard J.
Instrumentation: Quartet Instruments: Alto Flute, Flute
Genre: Traditional African American SpiritualThis well-known African American spiritual (the foot bone's connected to the leg bone, the leg bone's connected to the...), arranged by Howard Buss, makes a memorable concert feature as well as a rousing musical offering in church. Multiple players may be used on each part to expand the ensemble. This arrangement is hugely influenced by jazz. The extended two-part introduction begins hymn-like and then breaks out in a jubilant jazzy section. This is followed by a more traditional rendering of the spiritual; however, as the music reaches its climax, the jazz "licks" from the introduction are brought back as counterpoint against the main melody of the spiritual. The result is exhilarating, and for a bit of humor, just as the work ends, there is a "tongue-in-cheek" plagal cadence.

Levi's Dream
Composer: Buss, Howard J.
Instrumentation: Quartet Instruments: Alto Flute, Bass Flute, Flute
Genre: Contemporary4 flutes or ensemble (3 C and 1 bass - or 2 C, alto, bass): This work showcases the agility and rich sonority of the instruments. It can be performed as a quartet with three C flutes and a bass flute; or with two C flutes, alto flute, and bass flute. (An alto flute in G is provided as and alternative to flute 3.) Multiple players may be used on the parts to expand the ensemble. The title refers to an imagined dream of Levi, the namesake of the Israelite Tribe. The Levites were known for their involvement in priestly duties and music. The music has a distinctly Middle-eastern quality. The soulful nature of the slower sections is enhanced by the expressive, luscious ambience of the flutes. The composition features 2 sections with original tunes in the style of Jewish folk songs. One is slow and contemplative, the other, jubilant. This is an audience-friendly work appropriate for the concert hall or a house of worship.
