Programme Notes
My oboe quintet is about 20 minutes long. Structurally it's a bit like a book of short poems (27 in all), which form a network of laments, chorales, nocturnes, fragments and echos. It is music of ticking clocks, whispering quiet keening, midnight, stillness and darkness. Oboe Quintet was commissioned by Leicester International Music Festival with support from East Midlands Arts and Leicester City Council and is dedicated to Nick Daniel.
