David Heath: Out Of The Cool (Flute And Piano): Flute: Instrumental Work

Composer's NoteOut Of The Cool was my first work and inspired by the music of Miles Davis and John Coltrane. It was originally written for the flute but may equally well be played on the violin cello or sopranosaxophone.The piece is in three sections - slow/fast/slow. I have not marked many dynamics or phrasings and those shown are suggestions only. The slow sections in particular should be very free rhythmically and eachperformer should feel free to interpret the piece in his own way. The pedalling marks however are more specific as I have used them to show how notes and chords are to be sustained. Some of the blurred effects may seem strangeat first but this pedalling is essential to the style of the piece. Above all Out Of The Cool was written to be enjoyed so have fun with it!David Heath.
