Ugo Raimondi: Il culto del Dio Fujin, for Flute Solo

About this edition

Il culto del Dio Fujin by Ugo Raimondi is a work for solo flute. The score includes a bilingual performance legend covering ordinary tone, sounds combining air and pitch, air sounds, tongue ram, pizzicato, key clicks, overblowing, jet whistle and vocal glissandi.

The composer writes: “The peculiarity of this piece lies in bringing out the 3 different sound emissions and the sudden change of writing in some passages that emphasize these differences. The performer can freely choose the amount of air as long as he creates 3 different results (ordinary sound, sound with air, blowing sound) and takes the necessary ‘freedom’ of rhythmic precision to better highlight these passages.”
