flute and piano | ca. 6 minutes
I arranged this version for a program bringing together three of my recent works—Redwoods (2023), and the light shines through (2024), and Hummingbird (2024)—newly arranged for flute and piano. Originally written for other instrumentations, these arrangements evolved through close collaboration with Rebecca and Joseph at the Avaloch Farm Music Institute in January of 2026. With these three works, alongside companion pieces by Claude Vivier and Maurice Ravel, we created a program unified by themes of time and transformation, expressed through nature, light, and fleeting moments of presence.
Hummingbird draws inspiration from the delicate, fleeting energy of its namesake—an animal that seems to exist between stillness and motion. I often come across hummingbirds on walks through my neighborhood in Los Angeles and their appearance is a consistent reminder to channel presence and gratitude, ideas which informed the composition of this work.
