New Flute Music?

[andrew2lu]

I'm auditioning for a bunch of music schools soon, and UCLA is on my list. They require a contemporary piece that was written in the past 30 years. Any recommendations?

A lot of works written in the last 30 years will involve extended techniques. Go on YouTube and look for some of these:

Michael Colquhoun - Charanga (1993) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4ytcO1SLfk
This one is a lot of fun to play! It uses some extended techniques like air sounds, a few multiphonics, and humming while you play.

Most anything written by these composers:
Ian Clarke - Great Train Race, Zoom Tube
Gary Schocker - Under the Sultan, Ambidextranata (for one player playing BOTH flute and piano)
Robert Dick - Fish Are Jumping

You also have a lot of works written by Katherine Hoover at your disposal that don't focus on extended techniques. Unmetered yes. Extended techniques, not so much.

Duplicate of a note in the general forum, but here's one that is contemporary and lets you work on understanding and improving intonation. Contact me for a licensed pdf.
