Weird Bird for flute and piano

Weird Bird for flute and piano

By Arnauts Dimitri

Dimitri Arnauts: Weird Bird for flute and piano was written around 2018 and dedicated to the flutist Natalia Jarząbek and pianist Emmy Wils, who recorded it for their album "Infinity".
Around 2018, Arnauts was actively involved in various projects, including composing music for liturgical use (Psalms of David project) and larger works like oratorios. His participation in the Infinity CD project was described as a "short musical portrait".

The composition reflects his mature style, which can range from serious oratorios to the lighter, "humoristic" tone of "Weird Bird" ("humoristic portrait"). He collaborated with the performers, who are graduates of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, indicating his connections within the Belgian/European contemporary music scene.

Arnauts Dimitri

Dimitri Arnauts (1973) is a self-taught Belgian composer who advocates for a return to melody, harmony, and counterpoint in modern classical music. He is highly prolific, with a catalog of over 900 compositions, and active in the international music scene.
Arnauts is primarily a self-employed, independent composer, though he has undertaken various roles, including graphic designer and choir director. He completed courses in choral and orchestral conducting in the UK and film music composition in the Netherlands.
Arnauts is a founding member of the international composer collective Muse11 and an active member of the Flemish Composers' Archipelago (COMAV).
Arnaut's music is characterized by its dedication "to uplift and delight hearts, souls, and minds" through reaffirmed beauty of melody and harmony. He embraces traditional musical forms like oratorios, cantatas, symphonies, and concertos, while also engaging with electronic and experimental music. Arnauts has released sixteen LP albums online, totaling over 50 hours of music.
