I would like to thank everyone for coming and showing their

support today. In particular I’d like to thank my fantastic

teachers, Derek Jones and Linda Verrier, in helping to shape
and form todays performance, and for pushing me to be the
best flute player I can be. I would also like to thank my close
friends and family, without the support of which, I wouldn’t have
even come close to making it through this degree.

Honours Flute Recital

 Dutch composer Dick Kattenburg barely got started before
the curtain came down. In hiding from Nazi authorities in
Utrecht, Kattenburg was probably arrested in a movie theatre
and shipped out to Auschwitz in May 1944. By late
September, Kattenburg was dead at age 24.

Although Kattenburg had some rudimentary musical training,

including some contact — mostly by way of correspondence —
Troisième Sonate pour Flûte et Piano (1933) with Leo Smit, he was a self-taught composer bursting with
talent, ingenuity, and originality.
Philippe Gaubert (1879-1941)

I. Allegretto Kattenburg loved jazz and his works are suffused with its
influence by way of both rhythm and harmony.
II. Intermède pastorale: Très modéré
Piece is a short work for flute and piano by Kattenburg which
III. Final: Joyeux - Allegretto
very much reflects the admiration Kattenburg had for jazz.
Not only does it feature lush and beautiful melodies, over
jazzy chords, but also accompaniment that goes as far to
resemble the rhthym of a rag time pianist. Featuring elements
of polytonality, in which melodic lines are stacked over each
other in tonalities, Kattenburg also manages to quote
harmonic progressions from Igor Stravinsky’s famed ballet
score Le Sacre du printemps.
