The Feminine Flute

The Feminine Flute CDLX7193

"The youngest of the composers featured on this disc, Amanda Jane Fox studied piano with Hilary Coates at Millfield and studied flute with Robin Soldan at Chichester College. She furthered her flute studies with Susan Milan, participating in various master classes. She works as a freelance musician, teacher and composer, and has gained much experience from producing works for school shows, ensemble groups, festivals and charity events. She has also proved her ability to write and perform music in a variety of styles.

The delicious Infinity for flute and piano sounds a good deal more French than British. It opens in slow waltz time with a long, beautifully shaped, rather melancholy tune in the flute, reminiscent of Fauré or even Chaminade. In contrast to this is a more virtuosic, scherzo-like music, with repetitive, irregularly accented rhythms. These two elements, and some subordinate ones, are played off against each other leading eventually to a nostalgic restatement of the opening melody, and a brief coda in scherzando style."
