Flute Quartet No. 1.(Brief Article)(Book Review)
Flute Quartet No. 1, by Gary Schocker. Theodore Presser Company (588 N. Gulph Rd., King of Prussia, PA 19406), 2003. 19 pp. $28.95. Advanced.
Scored for two C flutes (first doubling piccolo), alto flute and bass flute, this quartet is a set of five descriptive and colorful short movements. "Bird Inside These Monastery Walls," as the first movement is titled, features an occasional piccolo bird-song over a carpet of murmuring sixteenth notes, woven through a steady quarter-note pulse--perhaps the tread of the monks' footsteps. A playful, teasing "Intermezzo" is next, followed by "Theme and Variations," a bouncy simple theme with six cleverly crafted variations. The fourth movement, "Almost Perfectly Happy," is just that--a happy, whistle-able melody interrupted twice by subito forte interjections. The final movement, "Dress Me for the Festival," utilizes changing meters and scurrying eighth-notes to create a carnival atmosphere full of varied activities, sunny and colorful.
