Work introduction
Flacelis represents a continuation of Flauros - in memoriam Constantin Brâncusi - a work written in 2015, the final part of the work written for solo flute being continued in the first part of Flacelis; an ethereal atmosphere, harmonic sounds and low dynamics will therefore predominate. The second part is more anchored in the Earth, the irregular rhythmic patterns and the use of extreme dynamic levels establishing bridges with traditional music. The end of the work brings back the atmosphere of the first part - that of the crystalline sounds - but keeping the rhythmic pulsation that dominates the whole second part.
Flacelis was dedicated to Vlad Colar and Alexandra Gutu.
