about.

​Mekailian’s lush harmony and idiomatic writing shine in this short solo for alto flute! Written in two movements, Petrichor presents the perfect mix of color and challenge for any intermediate soloist.

---

Petrichor is a work that embodies the composer’s lyrical exploration of one of his favorite instruments, the Alto Flute. The term ‘petrichor’, refers to the fresh, earthy smell of rain.
