Theodore Presser Company has published Eric Ewazen’s “Eternal Spring (A Hudson River Idyll) for Two Flutes and Piano.” Composed for trumpeter Robert Sullivan as a eulogy for his wife, bassoonist Robin Sullivan, the work celebrates her life and music (including a quote from Mozart’s bassoon concerto) with poignant melodies and an uplifting spirit. Eternal Spring (A Hudson River Idyll), originally for trumpet and piano, was adapted for two flutes and piano at the request of Marya Martin and Katherine Fink.
Eternal Spring is available now through Theodore Presser Company or your favorite music retailer.
