Gottry-Fluctation(2S) - Product Information
Fluctuation was written as a result of my desire to create new works for keyboard percussion and my enjoyment of performing with my wife, a flutist. We had previously performed several works for flute and keyboard percussion, so with that basis I set out to create something that would optimize combination and be unique to our strengths and interests. What started out as a three movement work including flute, alto flute, piccolo, marimba, vibraphone and xylophone, gradually mutates into one continuous work blending marimba and flute, marimba and vibraphone, and vibraphone and alto flute. Fluctuation was prepared by Josh and Amy Gottry at Northern Arizona University on April 25, 1996.
