Sungji Hong - Vidimus Stellam for Flute (2021) [Score-Video]

Sungji Hong - Vidimus Stellam for Flute (2021)
Eun Hae Oh, flute
Program Note: Vidimus Stellam for solo flute was commissioned by the National Flute Association to be performed by the semi-finalists at the Young Artist Competition. The piece was premiered by Jennie Oh Brown on 13 August 2021 during The National Flute Association Convention.
The Latin title translates to "We have seen His star" and pertains to the Biblical account of the star hovering above the birthplace of Christ. I wanted to create a sound that imitates the effect of a rapidly flickering star in the night sky; the way the starlight intensifies and changes its brightness in complex patterns. I explored this natural phenomenon with everchanging musical gestures of soft microtonal glissandi and pitch bends, and also in dynamic sections with jet whistles, harmonic sweeps, and harmonic climbings.
It is dedicated to Elizabeth McNutt, experimental flutist and friend, who has been an inspiration for the piece.

Wow. Usually I’m not a huge fan of this modern style of solo flute writing but this is actually fairly melodic while still showcasing a range of techniques. I particularly like the 2:29 bit.

I rather like this sparse and erie piece. Ghostly and liquid in it's clarity.
