Panoramas: Flute Music of the Philippines

2025RR-8113Chamber Music, Flute

Flutist Norman Menzales is Principal Flutist of Montana’s Great Falls Symphony, Colorado’s Fort Collins Symphony, and the Wyoming Symphony Orchestra. In Panoramas, he reflects on his Filipino heritage through a series of chamber ensemble collaborations. The album’s title work is by the groundbreaking Filipino composer Nicanor Abelardo (1893-1934). Panoramas, scored for flute, violin, viola, celeste, and piano, blends Filipino folk songs with post-Romantic styles. The album also includes works by contemporary Filipino composers Nilo Alcala, AJ Villanueva, Sungmin Shin, and Joed Balsamo. All works are new to the WFMT library.
