This was fun to do! If anyone's interested in the thought process behind it, winter is a time for much reflection and thought. A time for stories as well. I choose my flute in the key of C as it is my deepest sounding and most legato flute that I own. I do this to better reflect the sometimes solemn nature of winter's influence upon us. We are sure to include crows, coyotes, wolves, frozen ice on the lake, wind and of course the sound of our own two-legged footprints is they crunch through the snow as we go to check our snares. As this improvised piece is about that time, I 'bookend' it with the geese leaving.. and then eventually returning... signaling that cyclical departure of autumn and return of spring!
