For Flute (or Saxophone) and Piano
Performance Time 3:34
Skill Level: Intermediate-Advanced
A lighthearted instrumental with a Bossa Nova feel, Cadence for Olivia is designed to be fun to play and makes a refreshing interlude between more extended works at a performance or recital. This work was written to celebrate the birth of a baby, Olivia Hackney Cade, and playfully contrasts two elements both inspired by the baby's name. Like the "O" in "Olivia", the opening theme forms a melodic circle, looping in ever-wider strokes. In contrast to the circular melody, a second theme brings in a more linear element, a descending line taken from one of the meanings of "cadence", a falling pattern. This interplay between Circle and Line gives the work forward motion. The dance-like syncopation creates spontaneity and playfulness. Cadence for Olivia is a "perpetual motion" piece and in theory can be started or ended at any point and repeated over and over, if desired. However, to satisfy most listeners' need for form, an Intro and Coda have been incorporated seamlessly into the composition to give a sense of beginning and ending.
