Concerto for beatbox flute Native Tongues
Concerto for beatbox flute Native Tongues
R. Woolf: Concerto for beatbox flute Native Tongues was written in 2010 and dedicated to Greg Pattillo.
"My friend Ransom Wilson told me back in 2009 about Greg Pattillo and his beatboxing flute technique. He knew it would get me "where I live"... Like the rest of us, I was fascinated and excited. Ransom convinced the University of North Carolina School of the Arts to commission me for a concerto for Greg. He lives near me in Brooklyn, and we got together so I could learn about this arcane art. I wanted to compose a very "classical" piece, one that took the beatboxing flute very seriously. I named it "Native Tongues" after the hip-hop collective of the same name. Their work is some of my favorite music, and I liked the "tongue" connection, given it's a flute piece. I was thrilled when Emily Duncan decided to record it for her latest album."
