Aurora Empor

This piece was commissioned, recorded and performed numerous times by Switzerland’s premier pan flutist Urban Frey. It also works well with the transverse flute. From the CD booklet notes: “During composition, I gave myself the task of juxtaposing strongly contrasting episodes, which give the piece a clear and dramatic form. The title suggests a sunrise, personified by the roman goddess Aurora. Romantic melodic sections alternate with angular, sharply pointillistic ones. Towards the end the music intensifies and brings the ecstatic drama to its high point.”
