for SSATB and flute
She Will Transform You is a colourful and vibrant work that draws on the sound-worlds of Western European and Indian traditions. It is centred around a powerful poem by Indian-American author Neelanjana Banerjee that explores the special relationship of an immigrant and her child to their country of origin, as well as the significant role that a child from both cultures has in bridging the divide between them. The work moves in and out of the Hindustani raga Rageshree, a raga that is grounded in such a way that the ear feels as though it is never quite 'home': the perfect reflection of the text's depiction of simultaneous belonging and distance. Originally composed for choir and orchestra, the composer has here prepared a version for choir and flute, omitting the orchestral prelude and instead engaging a flute in a virtuosic dialogue with the voices throughout.
This score is not compatible with the orchestral accompaniment and is for performance with flute only.
