Rabens, Julieanne, Maternablu
An original solo for flute and intermediate level pedal harp by Julietta Anne Rabens. This work allows intermediate level duos to work on a contemporary work composed by a gifted harpist and composer. This means that the harp part is more than playable - it is comfortably and idiomatically written for the harp. The harps role vis a vis the flute is primarily accompanimental in the work but there is a lot of room for both instrumentalists to explore musical affect and have fun.
Score is 7 pages, includes separate part for flute. Julietta Anne Rabens has this to say about the work: "This piece attempts to express a soundworld of serenity and is in an accessible style. It was inspired by something I read about the mythology that homeless children in the U.S. created which has two maternal figures - one that is protective and kind, the Blue Lady, and the other which is frightening and harmful."
