Review in the British Flute Societies Pan magazine
"Keri Degg's Celtic Collage offer something different. Here we have seven original compositions which are both melodically interesting and accessible while not technically too demanding. There is therefore an appeal to a wider cohort of players within the classically trained fraternity. The CD is interesting and illustrates the variety of sentiment inherent in the music. The softer flute tone fits well with the aesthetic sense of the writing. The use of timbral trills and notes fading is a nice addition, enhancing atmosphere and opening the window towards greater possibilities, while pointing up a relative silence. Happily those ornamental devices are not overused as can sometime be the case.
In piece VII, the use of different compound times combined with a seven bar structure keeps the metronome guessing and forms a rhythmic pattern. It is refreshing to see traditional music in a setting free from shawls, thatched cottages, or well known alcoholic beverages"......."a player of around grade 6 level, with a few pointers on extended techniques, will find all of the material throughout the publication very playable.
.......provides an entertaining and useful introduction to the Celtic genre for those with an interest". Tom Greene.
Review by J.Wilcock
| "I've just got this (Celtic collage - flute & CD) and am now getting my head, heart, (and fingers!) around the first piece. The first section has a beautiful, almost lament like, Gaelic feel to it. You can almost see the mist over a desolate loch or glen and feel a sense of remorse or foreboding looming through a dim Scottish dawn or twilight. Not for long! As the second section wakes you up with a sparkling Celtic reel pirouetting your minds to a celebratory Ceilidh awash with Scotch spirit and dance! Looking forward to the rest of the pieces in this collection". |
