Self & Efficacy
Self and Efficacy Flute and Piano (2018)
Owen Eddy’s Self and Efficacy for flute and piano is an immediate crowd pleaser that also rewards repeated hearings. Composed for flutist Kari Lynn Boyer, the five-minute duo conveys a refreshing aura of optimism and openness toward life’s possibilities. Self and Efficacy seamlessly blends elements of popular, jazz, and contemporary musical styles into an eclectically percolating mix.
Mr. Eddy’s sophisticated command of extended techniques offers the flutist an array of technical challenges while constantly surprising and charming the listener. At just over five minutes in length, Self and Efficacy is perfect for the flutist who wishes to spice up his or her recital with a satisfyingly effervescent new piece.
