Catch-22, a piece for unaccompanied flute, was my first assignment for sophomore composition lessons. I was asked to write a solo piece in three movements, wherein each movement only used two melodic intervals and their inversions. Movement I uses the minor second, perfect fourth, major seventh, and perfect fifth; Movement II uses the major second, minor third, minor seventh, and major sixth; and Movement III uses the minor second, major third, major seventh, minor sixth, and the tritone. I somehow managed to make things sound surprisingly tonal. It was premiered on November 30, 2006 Natalie Duncan. This recording from November 16, 2009 features Jeremy Jimenez.
