Chasing Invisible Light (2009)

Chasing Invisible Light (2009) duo for alto flute is written utilizing a mixture of the diatonic system and the twelve-tone system. It consists of four sections. Especially the middle two sections are written on the basis of a tone row which comprises permutations of the BACH motif (Bb-A-C-B), inversion of the motive (D#-E-C#-D), and prime 8 of the motive (Gb-F-Ab-G) as used in Anton Webern’s String Quartet, Op. 28 (1938). The BACH motif has been used by many composers such as, J.S Bach, Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt, Arnold Schoenberg, Arthur Honegger, Alfred Schnittke, Ron Nelson, etc. It is tightly constructed and relies upon contrapuntal techniques.
