Helix
flute, percussion Duration: 7' Katherine Bergman Music © 2019 When I was asked to write a flute & percussion piece intended to be performed in highly resonant spaces, I began to visualize how the sounds of the two instruments would behave and react in such a space. The image of a helix came to mind; the sounds from the two players swirling around one another and spiraling upward toward the ceiling of the room. The piece begins with an interplay of sudden bursts of sound that allow the resonance of the space to echo back, and later develops into two intertwined patterns that are collectively circulating and ascending.
