Penitence, Flute Solo with Piano Accompaniment.
Penitence a Flute Solo with Piano accompaniment, deals with 3 of these stages of grief: Mourning, Reflection, and Acceptance.
At the beginning, we mourn our loss. Measures 1-12, the piano chords are full of sadness and grief, yet the flute sings out, much like a Mocking bird would do on a sunny day. How can there be so much grief, yet the birds continue to sing? Measures 12 - 23 encourage us to reflect; to question, to process what has happened. When the A section motif returns in measure 24, it sounds different- by adding just 1 note to the Piano chords, the character of the piece has changed- the chord becomes a Major 7th and sounds more hopeful.
Will we accept? Will we heal? Maybe there is hope.
