Reflections was written in 1982 and is based on a sequence from the ancient Norwegian Olavs-Fest in Nidaros. A characteristic of Katherine Hoover’s style is her use of extra-musical references, such as Native American music, literature, and nature. Her works often paint an image for the performer and audience. Reflections was written during Hoover’s residency at Artpark near Niagara Falls, New York. Hoover spent time outside, surrounded by nature playing her flute and writing these variations on a simple evening prayer.
