Notes: In Hebrew “Shir” means "a song" or “sing!”. It is a short and virtuosic solo for flute that explores contemporary sound production techniques. I wrote it for my wife who played flute at the time but upon looking at the score she said “thank-you, I can’t play this” and never looked at it again... Some years later I gave the score to Mr. Yossi Arenheim who is the principle flautist for the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. Mr. Arenheim premiered the piece in a concert series "The Flute at the Center" at the Jerusalem Music Center on January 23rd 1997.
