flute and string quartet (2022)

An anagram of the instruments employed in this tune—flute and four strings—is “unsung drifters aloft.” In other words, clouds. Hence, the title. The third movement follows the second without pause, although there is a definite shift from a 4/4/ meter to one in 5/4. A studio recording of this piece will be included on the compact disc “Incandescendence,” scheduled for a June 2025 release.
