Mirage (1982)
for flute choir

University of Maryland Flute Choir, William Montgomery, Director, Robert Gibson, conductor 

Mirage was written for the University of Maryland Flute Choir at the request of director William Montgomery. The title refers specifically to the nature of a mirage as an image which is seen only from a distance and therefore without sharply defined detail. The structure of the composition unfolds in dense chords and eight-voice polyphony.

The composer gratefully acknowledges the support of the Creative and Performing Arts Board of the University of Maryland at College Park.

—Robert Gibson
