| Extra Information | The composer writes: This work is the product of a self-imposed musical challenge to write a set of pieces that are effective as songs for soprano voice, but that would also work well as recital pieces for the oboe. Because this was my intention from the outset, neither version can be described as an “arrangement” of the other. (There is also an arrangement of this piece for soprano saxophone – but that truly was an afterthought.) The version for soprano and piano is entitled Five Shakespeare Songs (2002), and is a setting of five texts derived from Shakespeare’s plays. However, in setting these texts, I made no conscious attempt to imitate or invoke stylistic features of Renaissance music from England: any similarities are purely coincidental. Rather, I chose these texts because I found them evocatively useful for my own musical style. |
