Incantation and Dance

Ward-Steinman originally wrote his Incantation and Dance for the great James Pellerite (who premiered the work), as an accompanied solo for the five-hole Native American flute. He found that this version for alto flute takes advantage of its larger range and opens up the piece to new possibilities. The foritified piano uses a clave or wooden ruler to cover a range of strings, and is unchanged in this version. A chamber orchestra accompaniment is also available on rental. For advanced performers. Dur.: 6'
