Solo Work for Oboe and Orchestra help!

Hi. I need to turn in a music theory composition that is 36 bars long, and I only started with a few bars and I'm stuck! Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Just for some background info-

I'm a junior in high school.

I've been an oboist for 8 years

and percussionist for 4 years

and now I've started bassoon.

Can you post a PDF of your score? I don't have sibelius on this pc (I'm at school)

If I get home/you post a score I'll look at it right away. :)

EDIT: I'm home now..... :D

It's good so far. There were a couple things I'm concerned about though. First, the introduction is very short, even for a piece that's supposed to be 36 measures. I would extend that a bar or two before the oboe entrance.

You obviously need to finish writing the string parts, so I'm not going to touch on their lack :toothygrin:

In the second measure, the As in the bass of the harp might be better as F#.

The third measure where the harp begins entering the lower register is notated weirdly. I put that into the bass clef.

In general, harp octaves are difficult to manage.

After the oboe scale in the 3rd measure, I think the landing note would be more graceful as a 16th.
