Instrumentation: flute solo

Duration: 11 minutes


Through a collage of bright passages, Rhapsodie portrays the arrival of spring. Dance-like motifs swirl around each other to beckon the birth of energetic life, and tranquil melodies provide reflection on the scenic beauty of spring. In these latter moments, large leaps generate soaring lines that ultimately find themselves frequently interrupted by sneaky gestures. The greatest of these interruptions, a feisty cadenza, sparks the finale of Rhapsodie: a series of themes that scamper, sprint, slither, and tumble, culminating in one final, decisive gesture. Rhapsodie was composed in the winter of 2014 for flautist Victoria Calderone at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music​
