Resilience Concerto for Oboe

Resilience has been crucial during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. I hope to instill and reinforce some of this quality in those who listen to my concerto. The music undergoes some difficult moments, it sporadically has brushes with despair but it always recovers quickly and moves forward to dream, hope and fight another day.

This version for small ensemble is a concert-fit alternative for all those who don’t happen to have an entire orchestra at their disposition. You can compare the instrumentation below.

(The general score is A3 landscape and the pianist’s part is A3 horizontal to avoid frequent or unrealistic page turns.)
