Cutpurse Row [12-tone-row duet for Flute and Oboe] (2008, AMH)

Composer: Alannah Marie Halay (2008)

This is a 12-tone-row duet for flute and oboe.

Instrumentation:

Flute

Oboe

The title is drawn from James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake and its “young dublinos from Cutpurse Row.” Joyce’s phrase lends this flute and oboe duet its mischievous character, while “row” alludes to the twelve-tone series from which the music is formed.
