Flutopia is a fantasia for flutes and was written as a birthday present to my friend the Rev. Deborah L. Venezia on the celebration of her "big" birthday. The whimsical opening melody, combined with the light swing of the middle section, gives the flutes an opportunity to have some fun. Although Flutopia was written as a flute trio, the piece may be performed as a solo, soli trio, or 3-part tutti flute-section feature. Balance between band accompaniment and flutes must always allow flute melodies to be a priority. The swing section at measure 30 should be relaxed. At measure 38, the soli cadenza should be rubato and freely played.
