Anyone want to write me a piece for my interlochen recital?

Featured Replies

I'm looking for new music to play at my oboe/english horn recital at interlochen this coming fall. If anyone's interested in writing a piece for me, that would be awesome. I'm going to have a piece of mine on the recital too, and I don't want it to be a lone random new thing when I'm playing the masterworks :)

The piece would be credited to the composer (duh! :toothygrin:) and a recording will be made and posted. I'm looking for anything written for oboe or english horn, either with or without piano. Thanks guys.

I've actually got the perfect piece for you. I'll find it and pass it along. It's difficult, but hopefully you'd enjoy it...remind me via PM or something if I don't give it to you within the next day or two. :)

Have you any stylistic preferences?

  • Author

No preferences whatsoever. :) I'll take whatever you throw at me.

I'm definitely interested... might I ask what you're playing for the remainder of the recital? (if you have any chosen at the moment, of course)

  • Author

Well. I have a lot of repertoire to choose from but I'm not sure exactly except for the starred ones. (pardon my notes :p)

EDIT:

I'm for sure doing:

Poulenc - Sonata

Bozza - Lied for English Horn

Paladilhe - Concertante (it's rare, here's the only recording I could find on the entire internet)

Thanks for responding so quickly! Suggested length?

  • Author

probably between 3 and 10 minutes.

Don't play the Cimarosa! It's so boring...

How long would you want to have to practise the piece? (i.e., a deadline of sorts)

Thanks for giving me a nice little poke in the inspiration. (hrm, mixed metaphor)

Do you mind if the piece is humorous?

  • Author

Well, it's going to be in the fall, probably in october or maybe november if I can't get a date. I'll most likely have 3 weeks of practice with piano and all summer without it.

I don't care if it's humourous either :)

Hmm so if it is oboe & piano, the pianist has 3 weeks to learn it?

Also, I assume you don't mind getting more than one thing sent to you from YCians?

[/question bombardment]

I would like to write som music for you, if you like classical/baroque influenced music.

The pianist will have about 3 weeks to learn it, yes, but the accompanists are professional players, so whoever does it will do a great job.

Actually, the more the better to choose from :)

Great. :) Await my attempt then. (And probably one from flint too!)
