PROGRAM NOTE

Snowblink was commissioned by Loren Been, who performed the world premiere on her senior recital at the University of Kentucky. Due to Loren’s interest in the pedagogy of contemporary flute music, she requested a solo work that utilized various extended techniques (percussive sonorities, multiphonics, timbral variations, etc.) and featured other new music conventions. A “snowblink” is a white reflection or glare in the sky that appears over a snowfield.
