Re: The real practical range (compass) of the Oboe

Continuing on from my last post concerning modern Oboe pieces. I have listened and watch an excellent composition on Utube entitled 'Legacy' Oboe Concerto with Orchestra by Oscar Navarro. The Oboist is Jose Antonio Masmano. It's magnificent, and I think quite possibly one of the finest modern works for Oboe. It doesn't sound atonal and the harmonies are wonderful There are no gimmicky sound effects such as multitonal notes and no weird rhythms ect. It's overall sound is like that of a 80s/90s movie score. And this is the point I'd like to make. The question is often asked. "Where have all the orchestral composers gone ? Well it's obvious. :They are earning a living composing film scores. Oscar Navarro is this kind of composer and from what I've found out, he's earning a good living with his compositions. Which is a lot more than can be said for most modern composers these days who are just writing for themselves, usually with government handouts in the form of 'cultural grants for the arts' ect. They couldn't care less if their imagined audience likes what they compose or not. Just so long as the money in the form of government grants keeps coming in.
