about
Rósa Lind Page is an Australian composer based in Sydney (Gadi, Djubuguli). Her work for solo flute/alto flute, courbe dominante (2006), has many sources of inspiration: in addition to sharing its title with a Kandinsky painting, this piece “pays homage to Christiaan Huygens, founding member of the French Academy of Arts and Sciences, who… created lenses enabling him in 1659 to discover the true curvature of the A and B Saturnian rings.” These rings play an important structural role in this work; moreover, in the score each ring-section is assigned a French Baroque dance form — a subtle reminder that Page’s music, no matter how complex or cosmic, should always evoke the spirit of dance.
