Katrina Sonata
by Frank A. Wallace
Three movements for flute and guitar. Includes flute part.
Duration: 12:00
Skill level: difficult; fast notes, complex rhythms
This piece was begun in 2004 after hearing Nick and Rachel Ciraldo perform Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata. I was totally taken by their fluidity and beauty of tone. The first movement was half done when Nick decided to go to Austin for his doctorate. I stagnated. When Nick wrote about a week after he had moved to Mississippi that he was OK and back in Austin after Katrina hit, I knew that it was time to finish the piece.
The three movements are:
Boston
Nocturne
Orleans
The last movement contains a reference to When the Saints, for obvious reasons.
