Daughtrey-Extraordinary Correspondence, An (SP)-M/FL

An Extraordinary Correspondence by Nathan Daughtrey is a duet for flute and 5 octave marimba (four mallets). An Extraordinary Correspondence was inspired by the Griffin & Sabine Trilogy of books by Nick Bantock and commissioned by Jennifer and Richard Elliot as a means of expanding the repertoire for their flute/marimba duo. The title of this piece is the subtitle of the first book. Bantock tells the mystical story of these two people by inviting readers to examine handmade postcards and letters that are sent back and forth. The 6-1/2 minute piece unfolds in much the same way as the book and is divided into six main sections, each describing a mood or quoting a phrase from the book.
