Arousing Vigor “Bloody Locomotive”
For the past two summers, I have gone on tour with the original members of Frank Zappa’s band in the 80’s. Arousing Vigor takes inspiration from the music of Frank Zappa, incorporating chromatic riffs, and interesting sounds. Being a work for the flute, I also took inspiration from Ian Anderson of Jethro-Tull. The soloistic flute lines pay homage to his flare and unique rock flute style.
