Silver Flares

This work was written as a companion to the Sextour Mystique by Heitor Villa-Lobos. My goal was to capture the magic of Villa-Lobos sextet, and express it in my own language. Working with a very unique collection of instruments, my other goal with the work was to feature every instrument in its own right while exploring the wealth of timbral colors
