Additional Information	Trillium, for solo flute (performed by the composer), was commissioned by the National Flute Association for the High School Competition for the year 2000. Trillium is a beautiful early spring woodland wildflower with leaves and white petals in threes. The flute language of Trillium is heavily influenced by Japanese shakuhachi music and birdsong. There are a number of unusual timbres and trills, many involving microtones. The piece is playable on a closed-hole, C-foot flute.
