COMMISSIONS
In 2015 we commissioned Jonathan Campbell to compose a new piece of music. With themes of the northern prairie, our Scandinavian roots, and using a variety of flutes, Jon composed his first flute quartet,
Dakota Summer: Scenes from the Prairie. The 9-minute work for mixed flute quartet evokes moods, feelings, and imagery of a hot summer day, as well as the musical depictions of a Sunday prayer, a barn dance, and a silent cemetery. Dakota Summer has been published and can be purchased on the Theodore Presser Company's website. Check out this great review of Dakota Summer : |
