Shiny Kiss refers to stage lights bouncing and reflecting off a metal flute, and the sensuous way a flutist’s mouth embraces the embouchure. This simple hollow tube is the vehicle for such passionate expression, and just watching expert lips coaxing music from it can be a nearly voyeuristic experience.

Three Pieces for Trio was written for me by my dear friend Bear McCreary. He created a fun piece that utilizes the flute, accordion and bass in non-traditional ways. https://www.tradebit.com
I had the privilege of performing the first movement of Daniel Kelley’s Suite for Piccolo and Piano at the 2005 Flute Convention in San Diego. It was such a fun experience that I decided to record the entire work. Published by Last Resort Music; https://www.tradebit.com
Cameo for Flute by Henry Mancini was written for James Galway. My wonderful husband arranged this dazzling work for flute and guitar.

Bachianas Brasileiras No. 6 by Villa-Lobos is a challenging, but fun work for flute and bassoon. It is one of my favorite pieces of chamber music because it takes advantage of the myriad textures and timbres that these instruments can make.
For Embers of Agni, Steve Gates looked to the fireflies and their environment as a starting point for the composition of the piece. He developed an imaginary mythology dealing with the origin of fireflies; that the glowing embers of a fire, as they slowly float up through the air, are suddenly transformed into a living firefly. The firefly continues to glow as the ember had before, but now moves and flashes at its own will- and flies away into the humid night. Some of these images appear directly in the music, such as the quick exchanges between the flute and clarinet that are reminiscent of the “flash signals” that fireflies send each other. The spirit of fire itself pervades the piece; sometime it is a vibrant, crackling fire, only to then be suddenly tempered to a calm, glowing bed of embers.

Coraggio means courage. This piece by Christopher Caliendo is an energetic operatic tango whose Italian/Spanish melodies soar over powerful South American harmonies. This piece was originally for flute and guitar, but was arranged by Christopher specifically for Orion Winds, a chamber music ensemble I co-founded.

Notes from Miguel Atwood-Ferguson: Mama Knows was written in 2004 for my friends the amazing Orion woodwind quintet. The title refers to the deep and profound wisdom that our mothers uniquely have and display in sometimes stubborn and how can I say...interesting ways! The inspiration stylistically came from my love of Maurice Ravel, Miles Davis, John Coltrane and McCoy Tyner among others. Mama Knows is intended to be fun and very funky. I hope you enjoy!
Special Thanks:
This project began because of the wonderful music that my friends and family were writing. I knew these pieces deserved to be recorded and heard around the world. Thank you to all the composers who trusted me with their music! Thank you to all the musicians who shared their time and talents. Of course, thanks to my mom for her continuous love and support. Special thanks to my husband Mike who has encouraged me with this recording since the beginning. And of course, a big thank you to Jamey Tate, who has been there every minute of the way. I could not have done this without his talent, humor and patience.
