Li Qi recently joined the list of distinguished contemporary composers who contribute to NSM's ever-expanding catalog of exceptional sheet music.  Her piece Fog, composed in 2012 for flute alone, has just been published; interested parties can view the listing and find a link to a recorded performance of the work at https://www.noteworthysheetmusic.com/score-descriptions/36-flute-alone/435-li-qi-fog-flute-alone.  Fog is a short, intense piece, interesting and challenging, and sure to appeal to advanced flutists and their audiences. The work was inspired by the poem "Stray Birds" by Rabindranath Tagore, and strives to capture in a musical way the recurring interplay between fog and sunlight, as a representation of the circle of life with all its sorrow, joy, and continuously-unfolding beauty.
