Carrie Rose—Flutist, Composer

Leaves ring like bells
Water sings and grasshoppers pulse
Flutist takes a breath and joins the play
In these outdoor concerts, solo flute interlaces with videos and sounds from nature. The locations are wild natural settings where the aesthetic is a contemplative hush at dusk. The program includes compositions by Rose and other contemporary and classical composers and a film by Ron Toole. Woven into the program is an exploration of Maryland environmentalist Rachel Carson, author of Silent Spring and The Sense of Wonder.
Program:
-
Syrinx by Claude Debussy
-
Interlace by Carrie Rose (video footage of butterflies and bees interlace with solo flute)
-
Waterweave by Carrie Rose (a duet between flute and water sounds)
-
A Call to Prayer by Carrie Rose (film footage of leaves, water, insects, and birds blends with solo flute)
-
Bourrée I and II from Cello Suite No. 3 by Johann Sebastian Bach
-
This Time by Ron Toole (film) and Carrie Rose (music)
-
Prelude in C Major from the Well-Tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach and Ave Maria by Charles Gounod
-
Suvisoitto (Summersounds) for flute and grasshoppers by Usko Merilainen (grasshopper sounds interplay with solo flute)
These events are supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council (msac.org)
