Ward-Steinman originally wrote his Incantation and Dance for the great James Pellerite (who premiered the work), as an accompanied solo for the five-hole Native American flute. He found that this version for alto flute takes advantage of its larger range and opens up the piece to new possibilities. The foritified piano uses a clave or wooden ruler to cover a range of strings, and is unchanged in this version. A chamber orchestra accompaniment is also available on rental. For advanced performers. Duration: 6'.

Sparingly scored, these miniatures are full of surprise and delight. The work consists of nine short sections played continuously. In Mixture 1 Incantation, linear counterpoint for high woodwind and low strings is interspersed by distinctive brass figures and percussion motives. A brief Solo for double bass leads into Interlude 1 where harmonic writing is broken by short woodwind fragments before Duet where a simple rhythmic cell is developed by the brass instruments. Mixture 2 Exultation alternate block chords with active rhythmic activity. The Trio for flute, clarinet and percussion is followed by Interlude 2 where woodwind and string counterpoint is interrupted by static chords. After a short Quartet for trumpet and strings, Mixture 3 Apotheosis combines the techniques of the earlier movements. An original and rewarding work.
