There was a thread re: oboe in pop music a while back, and it branched into jazz, rock, etc.

I am not sure how a piece like this fits any of those descriptions though.

This is a new YouTube video release of a musical treatment of poetry by Robert Graves by my good friend Michael DeLalla.

It features oboe and eventually a duet between oboe and english horn.

This is from a reunion of my old group Oxymora in 1995 to contribute to Michael's holiday CD at that time. It used Oxymora and a couple of guest artists.

When we used to play it live, I played a recorder and the mandolin player covered the english horn on an alto recorder.

It was fun covering those parts on oboe and english horn for this project.

As with all Oxymora music, some parts are written and some are improvised.

And that is GREAT fun!

Its something to start off your holiday season this year.

Cheers, and peace to you. Happy Thanksgiving!
