Flautus Aeterna is written for a Yamaha WX11 wind controller,
Macintosh computer and synthesizer.  As with traditional
concerti, this work poses the soloist against a plethora of
forces, in this case, performed by the computer.  Though the
soloist begins the piece without complication, the computer's
part intensifies, causing the performer to become nearly lost in
the fray.  Ultimately the soloist "wins" and the computer beast
is held at bay once again.  In this piece, the performer plays a
written score, the computer follows along, makes musical
decisions, and performs its own accompaniment in real-time.
