Fireflies! (2024)

Flute Choir (Picc., Flute 1 & 2, Alto, Bass) - Intermediate/Advanced - MIDI Demo

This four movement work for Flute Choir paints a picture on the canvases of dusk, night time, and dawn - with fireflies (or lightning bugs - depending on where you're from) as the medium!

1. Fluttering:

It is nearing dusk, and the fireflies begin to appear in the daylight. They flutter about, gathering for their evening of light.

2. Flickering:

Their lights begin to glow as dusk turns to darkness. They begin to develop more energy as the night goes on, flickering and fluttering together through the night.

3. Floating:

All of the fireflies are alight! They begin a dance together coloring the dark sky with their warm, glowing light.

4. Fleeing:

As dawn approaches, the fireflies retreat, until they can once again dance the night away bringing light to the dark of night.
