Repertoire question

Hi, All!

I have a student who is searching for repertoire for her senior recital - she's majoring in ethnomusicology and playing the oboe as her primary instrument.

A few years ago I played Extase, by Qigang Chen, which treated the oboe as a Chinese suona - it was beautifully written for the western oboe but channeled the eastern instrument and was thematically based off a Chinese folk song. Spectacular piece, but very difficult and not an option for my student.

She wants something LIKE it, though - a work which reflects, ideally, middle eastern instruments or themes, or world music in some other way - but is written for an oboe and playable by a good college student.

I'm coming up empty - this hasn't been my area. Who can recommend a piece for her?

Thanks,

Jennet
