Latest publication: Mystic Flute by Alan Hovhaness
Now published by Edition Peters
Aaron’s 4th Publication with Edition Peters
A sweet miniature and wonderful encore, Mystic Flute was composed for solo piano in 1937. It consists of two voices: a simple melody in the harmonic minor scale balanced by an ostinato accompaniment in 7/8 meter that gives the work a hypnotic and ceremonial spirit.
The melodic line begins in the top voice, before moving to the bass voice, and returning to the top voice with small ornamentation.

*Some offer physical scores and PDFs
As I tend to do, no notes were removed from the piano score, and all dynamic and phrase markings follow the original score as well. There are probably a couple of places where a player could adjust it more, but that is up to each of us as individuals.
This arrangement was premiered on July 29, 2018 at the Coaster Theater in Cannon Beach, Oregon.
This is my fourth publication with Edition Peters and first that is not John Cage.
Special thanks to Gene Caprioglio, Owen Summers, and everyone at Edition Peters.
“GREAT ARRANGEMENT”
