The piece places the live flute against a dark, atmospheric electronic backdrop in which the sound of the theremin shadows and interacts with the flute line. Brown describes the flute writing as melancholy and lyrical, creating an evocative and mysterious sound world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work was commissioned by Itzhak and Toby Perlman for the 21st birthday of their daughter, flautist Ariella Perlman, who gave the premiere at Rice University in Houston on 1 April 2006. It lasts approximately 9½ minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recorded accompaniment is designed to balance closely with the live flute. A standard playback system is sufficient, although slight amplification of the flute can be helpful in larger performance spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA striking choice for advanced players exploring contemporary repertoire, electronic accompaniment and unusual instrumental colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout Elizabeth Brown\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElizabeth Brown (b. 1953) is an American composer and performer whose work is strongly influenced by her experience as a flautist, shakuhachi player and thereminist.
