maya

maya – 2 flutes & piano
maya – (2 flutes & piano) [intermediate/advanced – requires open-holes]

A beautifully dreamy and accessible piece using a few note bends.  A good double-tonguing workout for each part with both lines sharing the soaring melody.   Apart from the expressive use of open holes the parts proceed with alternating arching melodies and bubbling semi-quaver passages.

The title ‘maya’ is in reference to the meaning ‘illusion’ as opposed to the South American civilisation.  Based on an early work ‘Passage’ 1986 (Clarke/Hicks/Painter) it was rewritten & arranged by Ian Clarke in its current form in 2000 with first publication in 2001.
