Ondine's Flute for flute solo
Ondine's Flute for flute solo
K. Eggert: Ondine's Flute for flute solo was composed in 2019.
The piece draws on the European legend of Ondine, a beautiful but often tragic water spirit, a water nymph who can only gain a human soul by falling in love with a mortal man. The myth has inspired numerous artistic works, including ballets, operas (like Maurice Ravel's piano piece of the same name), and literature.
Kenneth Eggert composed the piece during his position of Instructor of Theory and Composition at Brevard College in Brevard, North Carolina, a position he had held since August 2018.
The piece was composed while Eggert was actively engaging in both classical composition and popular music performance, showcasing his eclectic range of influences that include classical, pop, rock, jazz, and world music.
Eggert Kenneth
Kenneth Eggert (1960) is a contemporary American composer, music theorist, and active performing musician known for his highly eclectic style that spans classical, pop, rock, jazz, world music, and experimental genres.
Eggert's musical journey began early, but he left formal schooling for a period to pursue a career as a performing musician, touring nationally and internationally. He eventually returned to academia, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Thomas Edison State University, a Master of Arts in Music Theory/Composition from Montclair State University, and a Doctor of Musical Arts in Composition from the University of Georgia in 2017.
Eggert's compositional style is diverse and often described as "haunting and beautiful... engaging and eclectic". His classical works include pieces for solo instruments, chamber ensembles (performed by groups like the American Modern Ensemble and the Atlantic Brass Quintet), choir, and electronics. He has conducted extensive research into Just Intonation tuning theory and developed his own system of symmetrical modes called "Hexagonal Mode Theory". His scholarship also includes the study of traditional Native American music and Western music esoterica.
