The Baths of Caracalla
Elizabeth Brown
About this work:
In The Baths of Caracalla, four alto flutists serenely emerge and recede from a recorded soundscape which includes theremin and bowed psaltery as well as a choir of prerecorded alto flutes. Together, these form imaginary reverberations from the actual Baths of Caracalla of ancient Rome, now a vast, mysterious ruin. The piece was written for Flute Force (performing here) for their 25th Anniversary Season. Published by Quetzal Music, available from the composer.
