Now Available - James D’Arcy: In the autumn heat for solo flute (Download)
In the autumn heat was written as part of my composition course at Sydney University and is dedicated to Catherine Fluke who has been a good friend of mine for many years. Catherine was also the first performer at a Sydney University concert in, I think, 1999. The piece then languished in my cupboard for some time before I began composing again in 2020, just after COVID caused widespread lockdown. The work is in three sections: slow (Lento Freely), fast (Allegro Scherzo), and then a repeat of the initial slow tempo. It has no time signatures allowing the performer to move freely through the phrases.
