Silba Suite by David Hahn

The Silba Suite consists of five pieces written for friends of mine who perform as a flute-guitar duo. The pieces are intended to be performed together as a suite. Comforting Our Companions, a title taken from William Carlos Williams’ epic poem Patterson, is a smoothly consonant excursion towards a more understanding world. Flow is a musical game which uses a single set of five pitches. Dilemma is an homage to the avant-garde music of the 1960’s. Here Now develops a specific rhythmic pattern on the guitar against which the flute melody is set. Don’t Get Sassy! is an uptempo jazz-funk inspired jaunt to end the suite.
