Early twentieth-century Austrian-American composer Hugo Kauder set out to revolutionize the course of classical music composition through the fusion of modern and fifteenth- and sixteenth-century compositional devices. His natural approach to melodic writing, based on the harmonic overtone series, includes omitting bar lines in his scores, writing segmental non-modulating passages, employing frequent recitation tones, and exploiting long unobstructed phrases. The use of his double scale, pentatonicism, eastern elements, and folk melodies and rhythms add a spice to the otherwise holistic sonorities. Described as “Neo-Medieval” and “Hindemith-like,” Kauder compositions not only offer a unique addition to a recital program, but often provide a musical style of which flutists rarely have the opportunity to study or perform.
