Argo Navis is a three-movement composition dedicated to Peruvian flutist Daniel Cueto. The piece draws inspiration from the southern constellation Argo Navis, which once represented the ship used by Jason and the Argonauts. This constellation has since fragmented into Carina (the keel), Puppis (the stern), and Vela (the sail).
Notes:
This work was recorded in 2010 by the Peruvian flautist and composer Daniel Cueto. Since then, it has been performed by numerous flautists around the world.
