Otal Gordeli / Kenneth Singleton

The flute concerto, composed in 1958 and published in 1960, is cast in a single sonata-form movement. The style seems reminiscent of the best known Georgian composer, Aram Khachaturian, with some of George Gershwin’s melodic turns and harmonies added to the mix. The transcription adheres closely to the original orchestral scoring – indeed, many of the parts are almost identical. It is strongly recommended that performances adhere to the one-plyer-per-part concept (with two players on each B-flat clarinet), so that the flute may be heard without amplification.

The present wind transcription was made in June, 1998, and first performed by flutist Elizabeth Singleton at the University of Northern Colorado’s Garden Theater on July 14 of that year, with the transcriber conducting the University’s Summer Symphonic Band.
