    Falling

    By May Howlett

    Regular price $35.00 Sale

    For Flute ensemble, c.4'00. Grade 6
    An Ode to Gallipoli and the futility of war. As in a ‘still’ photo from a movie, each soldier falls to the earth, a dying leaf from the Tree of Life. So the notes fall on the listener, slowly and wearily. We mourn our loss the more because man’s lust for power through blood will not be so easily appeased by this sacrifice. Composed 2015
