Program notes by the composer

  Spiraling is a dynamic duet for flute and piano. It begins with a rapid introduction and the first rendition of the main melody before slowing down abruptly into a mysterious Middle Eastern inspired section. This section then morphs back into the rapid main theme which is transposed up by half steps as the tempo gets faster. After being transposed up almost an octave, the piece slams to a halt, then slides into its subtle ending.
