Throughout the 20th Century, demand for flute and harp repertoire resulted in compositions by composers from all corners of the world. The repertoire presented on this CD, Taking Flight represents some of the earliest compositions for the flute and harp duo from the modern era, as well as more contemporary works that have helped move the genre into the twenty-first century. The three most recent works in this collection, by Gareth Farr, William Alwyn and Charles Rochester Young, are inspired by elements of nature. Each composer explores new effects and techniques to achieve diverse sounds in the music.
