Take Two Oboes
(2007)
Duration: ca 7-8'

World Premiere:  December 2008, Newcastle, UK

Critical Acclaim:

….added delight is the premiere of Take Two Oboes, a chattering dialogue which sounds like two reed players having a mobile phone conversation on a bus. The only difference is that you would as gladly have them pipe up rather than down.
— Alfred Hickling, The Guardian

Composer's Note:

Take Two Oboes is planned as one of a series of light-hearted works for pairs of instruments written with advice from performers who are also experienced teachers. Many of these pieces explore some specific opportunities and challenges inherent in the technique of each instrument. There are four short movements: Pompous, Expressive, Serene and Frisky.
