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.
