This piece features a wild english horn treatment imitative of some very primitive winds from long, long ago.
I shall endeavor to redeem my english horn self with some proper english horn in the near future... ![[toast]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smiley15.gif)
Meanwhile, enjoy.... the solstice is nearly upon us.

Why does it always take me so long to listen to your links?!?!?!?!?
This is really cool and pleasant! How 'different' can you get? And that E.H. sound.... I have to say it as it is: if that sound came out of my instrument, I'd probably trash the reed, but in this clip it sounds FANTASTIC! (no sarcasm, really like it)
It kind of reminds me of the dulcino (is that right?) --- sort of pre-baroque bassoon that comes in all sizes. Don't loose that sound! (The style either!). This is what modern music is supposed to be: an exploration of the instruments, styles and possibilities to produce enjoyable discoveries.
As for the Solstice, Pagan or Christian, the Yule tide represents the same thing: the renewal of hope and the promise of a better world! So I wish you all a merry Christmas and a joyous Yule!

Robin,
That was one wild reed... was looking for a primitive sound for that piece.
Will redeem my tone concepts on future things we are finishing up over the next couple months...:)

Robin,
A couple of things were different from usual.
The reed was shorter and thinner overall, and the actual blowing much more akin to alto sax which I played a lot along the way.
I did some finger slides for gliss and certainly jaw vibrato and sax scoops in the sound here as well.

I was once asked at the conservatory where I taught oboe and music theory, what the heck are you doing ? (re: Oxymora or jazz things...)
Answer was, "I am committing a saxophone" on the oboe.

Listen, I took a girl friend to a pops concert at the Montreal Symphony once. She was a soprano just starting to take lessons at the Conservatoire de Montréal. She was amazed at how the Broadway stars could manipulate the tonal quality and expressiveness of their voices.
The next day, she told me her teacher told her never to listen to that again: such signers don't know how to sing!
How do you like THEM apples?

I suppose for every hour I spent on flute, jazz piano, or doing improv on oboe it cost me a little proficiency in a classical capacity.
But, I think it also adds multiple dimension to all instruments as a result and is well worth the investment.
