Robert Raines’ Ménage for flute, bass clarinet and piano strives to explore varied relationships between these three “individuals” in solo, duet and trio settings. From the composer: “When I began composing the piece, my intention was to create an abstract, non-programmatic framework in which to explore the combinations of timbre and texture that these instruments offer. However, the ‘power of three’ seems to have been at work on this music, either subconsciously or by some unseen musical force.” For advanced players.

This is a rare programmatic work from nineteenth-century German composer Carl Reinecke, which tells the story of the water spirit Undine, who gains a soul by marriage to a human being and establishes a relationship with God. Dedicated to flutist Wilhelm Barge, a soloist in the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra from 1867 to 1895, the Undine sonata gradually uses more vibrato as it progresses, indicating Undine’s acquisition of a soul. Drawn from original manuscripts, this updated text is an opportunity for the advanced flutist to showcase skills and ability of expression.

Rather than trying to translate one art form into another, I have applied the principle of interwoven strands of colored thread to interwoven musical lines.

Four separate patterns have led Bond to four distinct weavings of her own: I. Spinning, II. Knotted, III. Open Weave, and IV. Tapestry. Woven has just been released on the recording Victoria Bond: Peculiar Plants (TROY 1161), performed by Renee Jolles and Sheila Reinhold (violins). Available now in Custom Print.
