Four Lyric Pieces for Flute Alone

By Heiss John

J. Heiss: Four Lyric Pieces for solo flute was written in 1962 during studying in Aspen with Darius Milhaud (composition) and Albert Tipton (flute) and was first published in 1971.
Four Lyric Pieces is written as free atonal music where the third movement was composed as initial original solo piece: a tribute to a dancer friend. The main idea came from Stravinsky's ballet music where long note is cut off by the short note as some sort of gesture. Darius Milhaud insisted on writing additional three movements as part of school assignment.
