Echoes of Sarah is a remembrance of a departed friend, but also a deep exploration of the sonics and tone produced by multiple flutes. In his program notes, Raines explains, for example,"Extremes of range, tone, texture, and tempo are explored. The piece begins and ends with dense vertical clusters that provide a view of one specific textural possibility." The complete set ofscore and parts also includes a copy of the CD Robert Raines - The Return of Odysseus (MSR Classics), featuring the Florida State University Flute Ensemble performance of Echoes ofSarah. For advanced performers. Duration: 11'
