Programme Note
Euterpe’s Caprice, a two-minute fanfare for solo flute, was composed on a tiny Christmas greeting card that I sent to Claire Chase at holiday-time in 2008. It was made as a gift for Claire because, not only is she a world-class flute player and consummate musician, Claire is also one of the nicest and most energetic people on the planet. Claire Chase is a force of nature.
Euterpe (pronounced: yoōˈtərpē) in Greek and Roman Mythology was the Muse of flute playing and lyric poetry.
- Augusta Read Thomas
