Sonata No 2 for Solo Flute
By Larry Sitsky
Regular price
$25.00
Solo flute. Advanced grade. AVAILABLE IN FACSIMILE ONLY
The Fourteen Days of Bardo Thödol
(“Liberation by Hearing on the After-Death Plane”)
“The third stage of the Bardo, called the CHÖNYID BARDO when the Karmic apparitions appear”
Influenced by a study of Tibetan Buddhist chant, and this contributed some of the musical basis of the work. The chant is heard in its purest form at the very beginning and the very end of the sonata. "The Tibetan Book of the Dead has fascinated the me for a long time, and the vivid descriptions therein of the Karmic visions, plus the expressed notion of the liberation of the soul via sound gave me the poetic basis of the work, which then naturally fell into the two movements." Larry Sitsky

Sonata No 3 "The Jade Flute"
By Larry Sitsky
Regular price
$25.00
Solo flute, c.9'20". Advanced grade.
Whence comes the sound of the jade flute,
Flying through the dark,
Coming with the spring wind, Hovering over Loyang?
Li-Po
The Chinese held jade in the greatest veneration. The word for jade, ‘yu’, also signified a beauty of spirit and the stone became the symbol of the five cardinal virtues. Jade’s ability to produce a pure musical tone was known in China from very ancient times and indeed, gongs were made out of the material. Jade was widely used as a miracle medicine as well as the most prized stone for elaborate works of art.
Music, undoubtedly the most spiritual of our arts.
Lin Yutang
Composed 1994 (as a test piece for the 7th Australian Flute Competition in 1995).

Sonata No 4 "Song of the Shaman" (flute)
By Larry Sitsky
Regular price
$25.00
Solo flute. Advanced grade
The objective for this Sonata was to embrace collaborations between composers and performers working together on psychical and mental inabilities and extra-abilities incorporated into musical textures. In 2015 the composer presented the manuscript of Song of the Shaman accompanied by the following description:
I treated the three octaves of the flute as symbolic:
middle octave- the Shaman sings, in our world
lower octave- he travels to the nether regions
upper octave- he flies in a bird/spirit body.
Musically, this meant that a different kind of music had to be conceived for each region,and that is essentially what goes on in the Sonata.

Sonata No 5 "The Pied Piper"
By Larry Sitsky
Regular price
$25.00
Solo flute. Advanced grade.
Fifty years separates the composition of Larry Sitsky’s first Sonata for Solo Flute (1959) and The Pied Piper, Sonata No. 5 for Solo Flute which was composed in Canberra in April 2019. This work alludes to the Medieval German legend of the Rat-Catcher of Hamelin, while his other four sonatas refer to an Oriental source. The Pied Piper contains internal sections labelled by the composer as A, B, C, and D, which each have their own individual character that is maintained throughout the composition.
The premiere performance of The Pied Piper was given by Uliana Zhivitskaya on the 5th of December 2019 at the Moscow Conservatoire, Russia (see YouTube link below).

$25.00
Cor anglais and piano, c.5'00- Grade: 6
- Tempo: Moderato e scherzando; crotchet = 92
- Genre: Neo-classical
- Composition Date: 2006
The juxtaposition of usual chords in unexpected ways for such a tonal work adds to the comic effect of this work, as does the combination of the articulations: staccato, accents and slurs and the strong sense of harmony, a rhythmic drive imbues the piece.
