Floreat Rosa Divina for flute duo (mp3)

This is a duet composed for two flutes, drawing inspiration from Rosa Divina, a poem by the 17th-century Mexican nun and poet, Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz. The poetry delves into the enigma of a rose, illustrating the deceptive nature of its existence and the lessons it imparts through its demise. The composition carries a medieval touch, and, for added dramatic flair, it incorporates a jolting three-note phrase of parallel fifths at a particular juncture. The musical mode employed here is Dorian. This specific rendition has been performed by Berta Bánki and Máté Bán.
