Sonic Roots – Wurzelklänge Band 5 for 1-2 flutes and piano

Description

John Wolf Brennan (*1954)
Sonic Roots – Wurzelklänge
Volume 5

This collection was inspired by a whole series of role models: folk dances from Celtic sources – airs, jigs, slip jigs, hornpipes, country dances, reels, strathspeys, highland flings; and Helvetic country music (Schottisch, Waltzes, Zwiefach, Chüereiheli, Jüüzli) from remote places such as the Gruyère, the Vals valley, the Appenzell Alpstein, and the Muotathal in Central Switzerland. Helvetia was an ancient area of Celtic culture, and proofs of this are still discernable today. To make these sonic roots audible is one of the principal goals of this work.
