  1. Flying Machine, The

    Composer: Dolan, Natalie
    Instrumentation: Solo and Piano Instruments: Euphonium, Piano
    Genre: Contemporary
    with Piano

    In writing this piece, I wanted to use the solo instrument similarly to how a brass section might be used in a film score — with some moments of steady harmonic movement, some of fast staccato passages, some of soaring melodies. I was drawn to the grandeur of the instrument and found myself picturing the early days of airplanes, when human flight was still something wondrous and uncertain. This piece follows the range of emotions that I imagine might accompany such an experience as a first flight: initial hesitation, then excitement and nervousness at a shaky takeoff, then wonder at the sight of the world from a new perspective. After a brief cadenza-like passage for the euphonium, the piece settles into a landing, ending with a soft hint that the world might never be the same. Learn More
