Schubert Six Songs Opus 118 arranged for oboe and String Quartet

New Year's Greeting for Three

As is my custom, I have been spending this earlier part of New Year's Eve writing a short piece to greet the new year. This one is a bit austere, but it really can't be helped.

[December 31, 2018]

You can get a PDF of the score and parts on this page of the IMSLP.

Woodwind Quintet No. 2

April 6, 2017

This ten-minute-long piece for woodwind quintet would be interesting and entertaining for school-age children (and hopefully adults and wind players as well). The four movements relate to the four winds: west, east, south, and north. The cover art is a painting by my mother, June Fine.

The music can be found on this page of the IMSLP, and you watch and listen to a performance here:

El Hotel Electrico for Recorder, Oboe, and Bassoon


May 5, 2012

This piece can be used to accompany Segundo de Chomón's 1908 Film El Hotel Electrico, and a second oboe or a piccolo can play the recorder part (as written) if a recorder player is not available. The score and parts are available here.



Here is a performance with piccolo playing the recorder part (what a great idea).

Study for Woodwind Quartet

This is a bit of atonal writing for winds. You can listen to it here. It is available through this link from Subito.

Monday Waltz for flute, oboe, bassoon, and piano


July 7, 2009

This was originally a monody, which became a kind of parallel monody, and then grew into a four-instrument waltz."Monody" looks so much like "Monday" that I simply decided to change the name, since this piece no longer has anything to do with monody. Or with Monday either, for that matter.

The score and parts, as well as an audio recording are available here.

Quartetto d'Amore



February 2, 2009

Just in time for Valentine's Day! This Quartetto D'Amore has a part that can be played by either the Oboe d'Amore or the Viola d'Amore, but the piece can also be played in other configurations. The Viola d'Amore part can be played by a regular viola, and, though it does lie rather low, it can be played on regular oboe. In addition, the flute part can be played by a violin, and the piece can even be played as a conventional string quartet (see the post below or go here for a more string quartet-friendly version of the second movement).

A downloadable PDF is available here, and you can listen to the piece in the Viola d'Amore version here for the first movement, and here for the second movement. You can listen to the Oboe d'Amore version here for the first movement, and here for the second movement.

Here's a performance of the second movement, Oseh Shalom, performed by the Camerata del Ré on baroque instruments:
