Walking in the Air from the Movie the Snowman for flute choir / ensemble

Bringing color and vibrancy to a rare ensemble, Shared Connection highlights humanity and genuine emotional bonds through the intertwining melodies of seven C flutes in three distinct movements. This work aims to utilize the flute's full register, from its silky and underused lowest notes to its soaring and bright upper register. Each player experiences a variety of responsibilities, carrying important lines that function only with the support of the entire ensemble. Shared Connection intends not only to bring the audience to a place of reflection and emotional sensitivity but also to remind each musician of their crucial role within the ensemble.
