Descrizione:
Concertino is about relationships and how they change over time. My first goal in writing the piece was to create two distinct characters; in this case; the Oboe and English Horn. The Oboe begins with a berceuse-like melody; while the English Horn's entrance is more ambiguous and rhythmically jagged. Over the course of the piece; these two characters interact through a variety of musical settings; their material or personalities continually developing. The strings; more than mere accompaniment; provide commentary on the dramatic action; much like a Greek chorus. They establish each musical scene; interact with the two woodwinds; and further develop the musical material. And while there is a strong concertante element in the piece; it is essentially chamber music. There is a conversational quality; a sense of give-and-take between everyone involved that makes the two woodwinds first among equals as opposed to featured concert soloists. Each of the eight instruments has something unique and important to say. --Michael Boyman
