| During the past quarter century, contemporary music has added to its available vocabulary by expanding its concept of acceptable musical sound. Many sounds dismissed by composers in the past as "unmusical" are now being used effectively in the compositions of serious contemporary composers. Some composers have investigated new instruments in their search for additional sounds; others, however, have explored the special effects that can be produced by traditional orchestral instruments. In Special Effects For Flute, we have described a wide range of special effects that can be achieved on the flute and have suggested a standard notation for each. The instructional CD included contains audio examples (samples to your right) of the various effects illustrated in the book, making this purchase a powerful tool for the contemporary performer and composer alike. |
