This is a piece I composed some time ago (June '05 according to the music) for solo flute, I wrote the first bit and a friend commented "Did you go to Guadeloupe??" and the inspiration to finish the piece was born.

Hope you enjoy it....

Hi.

A nice piece well played within the limits of what the recording can say. The use of 'diminisheds' and minor key definitely give a Latin tropical mood.

Have no comment about the composition other than it's pleasant. Have you thought of making it part of a suite?

I did intend it to be part of the suite: various bits and pieces came and went as other movements but nothing quite made it to the final cut... maybe one day something will! I had sunrise, birdsong, a market scene and a festival... nothing worked out though
