“Hope” was composed in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a simple, yet beautiful duet for flute and piano. The evolving melody passing between the instruments represents life’s changing tides. There are periods that are graceful and pensive and others that are fleeting and exciting. The end of the piece is grave like looming depression, but it finally resolves in a bright cord—this symbolizes how even as we face difficult situations in life, there is always hope.
"Hope" is idiomatic and can be enjoyed by many performers. The performance level is grades 3-4 and the duration is ca. 2’ 10.” This sheet music book includes the score and instrumental parts. Listen to a performance of "Hope" here:
