FROM THE WORK LIST Über der Wiese schwebend Op.88 (Flute Choir) Flute Mystery Op.66 (Flute, Harp and String Orchestra) Dedicated to — and premiered by — Sir James Galway Aside from being the album title of the Grammy-nominated album FLUTE MYSTERY, Flute Mystery Op.66 is a symphonic poem for flute, harp and orchestra. Op.66 comes in a version for Alto Flute (Op.66a), C Flute (Op.66b) and Piano Reduction (Op.66c). Flute Concerto No.1 Op.70 Dedicated to — and premiered by — Emily Beynon ❝ Beppe is one of a handful of composers who are able to create the rare experience of enchanted silence in their music. Beppe's Flute Concerto No.1 Op.70 contains several such moments. Even though his tools are a "conventional" orchestra using "conventional" instruments, an unreal atmosphere of calm and celestial flight arises. One of the most fascinating aspects in this regard is that he does not use any minimalist or modernist devices at all; he simply allows the music and its inner qualities to speak in full. In our current age of constant hectic activity, where it is barely permitted to think a complete thought, music such as this is of the greatest importance: it gives the listener the chance to experience time as a benefit and not as a punishment. The concerto is dedicated to the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra's eminent flautist Emily Beynon, and it received its premier performance in London in February 2009. Wolfgang Plagge, professor Flute Concerto No.2 Op.80 Dedicated to Emily Beynon ❝ Flint Juventino Beppe's previous album, FLUTE MYSTERY (which included his first concerto for flute and orchestra), revealed his special ability to compose fine music for the flute. For many years he has worked with outstanding flautists at home and abroad and has composed extensively for this instrument. His Flute Concerto No.2, which we hear in this recording, is in many ways the dark shadow of the first concerto. The titles of the movements might, at first sight, seem programmatic, almost suggestive of computer games music (for example the use of graphic triggers as mirror-images of the titles of the first and fourth movements), but they are not essential for an understanding of the drama in this work. For here we truly have a profound and threatening musical drama: the artist's draconian struggle with his demons. Once again it is the tension between the extremes of human consciousness and emotion, from deep despair to a brazen gallows humour, that makes so vivid an impact on the listener. Here, too, Beppe makes full use of the skills he masters better than most – the ability to speak out with unadorned sincerity and to do so on art's own terms, and he invalidates any debate about his conformity (or lack of it) with stylistic norms simply by expressing his own original and authentic self. Wolfgang Plagge, professor Daughter of Deepest Woods Op.80b (Flute Solo) Warning Zero Op.54b (Flute Part) ❝ Even the calm, almost playful parts are repeatedly interrupted by a threatening sounding Brass section. The piece finds its climax in an epic wall of sound that rivals any big Hollywood action score. Blu-rayDefinition.com Flute Sonata No.1 Op.40 (Flute and Piano) SEASONS OF LIFE http://www.fjb.space/multimedia/relea... VICINO ALLA MONTAGNA http://www.fjb.space/multimedia/relea... ❝ The Flute Sonata No.1, Op.40 is in three movements commencing with a Moderato that opens with a lovely piano theme before the flute joins weaving its melody around the piano in this particularly fine movement that has a real forward momentum. The flute brings a rising motif to the opening of the Adagio before the piano joins and the theme develops. The piano leads forward with the flute adding a melody. The Presto brings some particularly fine flute playing as this movement hurtles off. It slows a little, with lovely flute motifs before continuing to move quickly ahead, flowing around with many attractive and rhythmically varying ideas before the sparkling coda.
