The Troll and the Fae is a seven-movement modular work, in which the performer may play any number of the movements in any order. Designed as an introduction to extended techniques, each movement picks a small number of techniques to focus on in an approachable manner. For example, the titular movement uses pitch bends, flutter tongue, and tongue clicks. Another uses multiphonics and timbre trills, and another uses breath tone and whistle-tones. By working through all seven movements, the player may learn and become comfortable with the basics of  these techniques. Each movement thematically revolves around mythologies and folklore from a variety of cultures. Each movement is able to be performed on either flute or piccolo.
