Composition for saxophone sextet with woodwind doubling (four flutes, soprano saxophone, and tenor saxophone). The archive includes a score in holograph. No known recording.
From Marty Ehrlich: This 8-measure work opens with a set of nine notes in the flutes, different pitches in each part, with the instruction to fit them within two beats. The soprano and tenor parts are mostly independent. Hemphill writes, “Different styles in Flutes,” perhaps implying that the performers should use different sound approaches in their flute playing. I have no memory of doing this work with the Julius Hemphill Sextet. It does not reflect the doubling availability of the personnel in that group.
