Windscape
Faye-Ellen1 Silverman
About this work:
“Windscape” is in one slow movement interrupted by a fast middle section. The work is soft at both beginning and ending, as are many works that begin from nothing and recede to nothing. The held notes of the slower sections contrast minor with major seconds. The flute part uses harmonics to soften the sound as the work approaches its end.
