The Flute Voice uses a stanza from Sidney Lanier's large poetic work The Symphony (1875). Lanier's interest in dialects and the connection of musical notation with poetic meter is often a feature of his creative approach, and for this reason The Flute Voice by Hilary Taggart has the words of his poem printed throughout the score, so that the music echoes aspects of the rhythm, shaping, pace and mood of the poetry. This flute and piano piece also adheres to the importance of harmony; Lanier, as a devout Catholic, famously wrote: 'Music means harmony, harmony means love. Love means God.'
