Melampau – flute

Description

Melampau for solo flute explores extremes of the concert flute in terms of register, dynamics, and some extended techniques. This is my first solo flute composition, composed for Hong-Da Chin in July 2013 from sketches made during the Summer Composition Intensive, and premiered the same month in Malaysia. Melampau means ‘extreme’ in Malay.

Level: Advanced

Extended techniques: key clicks, tongue ram, slap tongue, aeolian sound
