Suite
for Oboe and Piano (1969) - A modal composition using quartal harmony.
The Introduction uses a hemiola of 6/8 -3/4 to build to an exciting
climax. The Song is reminiscent of a pastorale as it uses a lyrical
melody over sustained chords. The Danse is waltz-like and alternates a
flowing theme with humorous interruptions. The Finale is driving and
has the feel of a perpetual motion. This work is recorded
by Anita Ranucci Brandon on the Emeritus
label and Joe Robinson on the CRS label.
