"All Alone at Last" for solo flute
"All Alone at Last" for solo flute
R. Woolf: " All Alone at Last" for solo flute was written in 2017 and dedicated to flutist Ransom Wilson.
"Ransom Wilson, flute player and conductor, has been a friend of mine and to my music since 2003, when he conducted my work Modern Primitive with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. His first reaction was to tell me he thought the piece was the result of way too much coffee—but I eventually managed to convince him otherwise.
Since then, Ransom has been extraordinarily generous. He has conducted my orchestral and chamber works, performed my music, commissioned me, recorded my pieces, and helped me in more ways than I can count. He introduced me to Greg Pattillo and asked me to write a concerto for him, which became Native Tongues.
I always wanted to write Ransom a solo piece because he is, quite simply, a remarkable flute player. I titled the piece All Alone at Last because I finally had him – his sound, his artistry – completely unalloyed.
Thank you, Ransom, for the incredible performance on this recording, for your friendship, and everything else."
