Latest Releases from Papagena Press...
Shipping now! Katherine Hoover Concertante "Dragon Court" for Flute Ensemble
"The first and final movements incorporate jazzy, syncopated rhythms and chords that support solos featuring piccolo, concert C, and alto flute. The middle movement’s continuously shifting chords eventually give way to gently rolling 16th-note lines on top. The movement rises in intensity near the end before fading out to a final piccolo flourish." --
Rosene Rohrer, for NFAonline.org

Katherine Hoover Peace is the Way Flutes & Alto Flutes
In this arrangement for multiflutes of the original treble chorus setting, a four-note phrase, “Peace Is the Way”, is layered repeatedly, one after another, throughout the eight parts, building slowly into sustained chords and a whispered final prayer. Inspired by the quote from A.J. Muste, “There is no way to peace; peace is the way.”
