Description

Z3 for Two Flutes and Piano by Cynthia Folio. This work was commissioned by the PA Music Teachers Association and dedicated to and premiered by ZAWA (Claudia Anderson & Jill Felber). The three Z's in this work are: Zephyr; Zenith; and Zawa! The first movement is virtuosic and is inspired by the sound and power of the wind. The second movement highlights the duo's lyricism; itis introspective and builds slowly to a single "zenith." The third movement reflects the fun side of the duo; it is based on salsa rhythms, at times combined polyrhythmically, and ends with a typical montuno (the final up-tempo part of a Cuban son). in three movements: Zephyr, Zenith, and Zawa!
