Something short, something very special for today’s post in our Random Contemporary Music series. I really like the effects of the flute and I consider this work as a piece with a lot of emotions and moods (like these times...).

Today on Musica in Extenso:

Arthur Honegger

Danse de la Chevre for Solo Flute, H. 39

Enjoy! - Editor-in-Chief

Early morning bicycle joy in Evanston…I met this man playing flute on rock. Rolled over and took this quick video, his name is Lucho Castilla. Also met another cyclist “Maasai” or “maasaifromthechi”. #sunrise #soloflute #flute #improvisation #glimmer #morningmeditation #bicyclelife #flautist #bikeridingadventures #evanston #lakemichiganlife (at Northwestern University Lakefill) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP3-jUDAiRy/?utm_medium=tumblr

Had a busy weekend running around Boston, all culminating in spending a couple hours at @thebridgesoundandstage listening to @elabrandys absolutely crush my Solo Flute no. 1. She and I met for a quick rehearsal on Saturday and by Sunday she was running every phrase with impeccable precision and expression. It was unbelievable to witness. Now to get the recording out to competitions and will post it soon enough! Our recording engineer Alex - who also did the string quartet last year - is a wizard when it comes to editing and was an immense pleasure to work with. I implore all who need recordings in Boston to talk to the folks at The Bridge. It’s a killer space and they are awesome people. Friday got to hang with some dudes, play some tunes, and eat some foods at @AS220, and as if that wasn’t a good enough weekend, I got to spend most of it hanging with @shelleykshaw walking around Boston! :) - - - #flute #soloflute #twentyfirstcentury #recording #studio #recordingstudio #thebridge #mixingconsole #music #composer #performer #musician #writer #jazz #classical #avantgarde #serialism #improvisation #composition #musical #musically #musiclife #musicislife #musicnotes #musicianlife #musicman #gig #giglife #livemusic #Boston (at The Bridge Sound and Stage) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrP9wRMg3fp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bgswdvhvw8ni

Personal message

First of all, I would like to apologize for my absence this past academic year. Some of you would remember that I have lost both of my parents successively, and I was seriously considering a change of life (still including the flute, of course). So, in order to get out of this difficult period, I wanted to work a lot to bury all doubts, and I got sick twice this year, including one surgery.

Now all went back to order. I played flute again since one month, and I am very proud to be in shape again and make plans for the next year and ongoing.

Some of them had to be written down.

1) I was, and am, a very serious supporter of living composers and their work. This will not change, though, I will focus my activity on solo music - we, flutists, are so blessed with this. Therefore, I will pursue my project from a long time ago, of a solo disc of modern to contemporary pieces.

2) I am quitting my seat of Piccolo at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris. I have to reconsider my agenda since my new plans will be quite time-consuming. My flute class is flourishing, and I will not be able to spend more time teaching than today, so this becomes a reasonable choice. I always love this instrument, and I will probably play it a lot in my concerts. But teaching it as well will not be my priority anymore. (therefore, I am also quitting my seat at the Paris 5th arrondissement conservatory)

3) I will concentrate myself to publishing and performing. I got a very interesting offer from a management and logistic company based in Germany. I hope this will help me to get endorsements of my work, and get more visibility. My engagement to the brand Miyazawa stands, and I have a lot of exciting plans with Miyazawa France for the next season. 

4) After having some time for deep reflexions while my recovery, I am certain of my role in the music/flute business and what I would like to accomplish. For some reasons, I am performing a different style than many other flutists. Some will sense the difference, some won’t. Time is precious, and for me, from now on, my absolute priority is to meet those people I was able to touch, and meet new ones. I want my music to be free, clear, and sincere even if it disturbs. I totally understand and respect criticism, other thoughts, other aesthetics, but I will not change my path.

I have a very supportive husband and a steady next generation among my pupils. So I feel totally serene and ready to work again.

Thank you so much for all your support, from nearby and far away. I would be very grateful if you keep following my publications and tour schedules.

Meet you soon !

XO

Mihi

I found the first part of my favorite solo piece I've ever played. Excuse the hunch, I'm trying to read it off a laptop screen. #ferroud #soloflute #troisiemepiecespourlaflute #threepiecesfortheflute #pierreoctaveferroud #modernmusic #modernsolo #french #frenchcomposer #20thcentury
