Original

Flux composed by Daniel Burwasser. For string orchestra. Level 5. Score only. Published by Imagine Music - Digital. IZ.OMS112-S. COMPOSER'S NOTES. FLUX began as a brief sketch for a string quartet and then was abandoned. After re-examining this fragment a few years later, I thought it was worthy of expanding into a larger work, particularly a string orchestra piece. The once-shelved fragment now became the introductory thematic material for the work. This opening section appears again toward the end, but it has been slightly expanded to create a bookend effect. The newly added sections of the work feature varying tempi, textures and melodic ideas which have been linked together to create a chain of events while maintaining the unity of the piece. Since FLUX operates in a perpetual state of change, the title was a natural fit. Flux was premiered at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, NYC in March, 1999 by the Concordia Orchestra, Marin Alsop, conductor. It has also been released on CD by MMC Recordings, Ltd. REVIEWS ON FLUX A post-Romantic utterance which to me evokes the early tonal works of Schoenberg. Flux quickly reveals its American accent by quite naturally lapsing into a phantasmagorical jazz riff for a moment before falling into a series of delicious harmonic suspensions that lead back to its yearning opening figure and yet further developments. Flux displays a fine sense of balance and proportion but, more important, engages the listener throughout its 10-minute duration. ---Fanfare, September. October, 2006 Flux harbors a harmonic language that is fairly romantic, maybe even indulgent. Burwasser's strength seems to be that he has a keen ear for the actual color of specific harmonies, and can use those colors effectively - some of the chords simply glow. on this 10-minute showing there is much talent here. ---Fanfare, January.
