Taylor - Flow (solo euphonium and Audio Playback - Read Description)

From the composer:

"We were all taught as little kids that mixing water and electricity is extremely dangerous.  Maybe that is why I’ve always been fascinated with hydroelectric dams and the mysterious process of transferring water current into electric current.  To me, it is amazing that the flow of water can be turned into the flow of electrons running down a wire.  As a piece of music for euphonium and electronics, FLOW, explores these concepts by incorporating recorded water sounds and flowing melodies layered on top of electronic drum beats with intricate rhythms (the word rhythm comes from the Greek rhuthmos which is related to rhein, meaning “to flow”).  The primary melodic material for the work is generated from the four letters in the word flow, which produce the pitches A, B-flat, E, F.   This work was commissioned by Kenneth Kroesche, to whom I am deeply grateful for his support and friendship."
