'Rising' is a contemporary classical piece composed by Gary Schocker, an American flutist and composer. The piece was composed in 2006 and premiered on March 4, 2007, at the National Flute Association Convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico. 'Rising' is a three-movement piece that showcases the technical and expressive capabilities of the flute. The first movement, titled "Rising," is a fast-paced and energetic piece that features intricate runs and arpeggios. The second movement, titled "Falling," is a slower and more contemplative piece that explores the lower range of the flute. The final movement, titled "Rising Again," is a return to the energy of the first movement, with a triumphant and celebratory feel. One of the characteristics of 'Rising' is its use of extended techniques, such as flutter-tonguing and harmonics, which add to the unique sound of the piece. The piece also features a variety of dynamic contrasts, from soft and delicate to loud and powerful, which adds to the emotional impact of the music. Overall, 'Rising' is a challenging and exciting piece for flutists to perform, showcasing the versatility and beauty of the flute.
