When the opportunity came to write a concerto for this\nwonderful instrument, I jumped at it. As the oboe's tone has always enchanted me, I\ndecided that I wanted to veer from the normal style of concerto writing, where virtuosity\nis the primary element on display, and feature the rich tone of this double-reed\ninstrument. To that end, this work has long sections (including the opening) that\nshowcase its melodic gift, which alternate with 2 faster scherzi, giving the instrument's\ntechnical speed a chance to shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original version, for oboe and orchestra, was commissioned by the Minnesota\nCommissioning Club. This version for soloist and wind ensemble, was commissioned by\nthe University of Michigan (Michael Haithcock, dir.), The University of North Carolina\nat Greensboro (Kevin Geraldi, dir.), and The Hartt School (Glen Adsit, dir.).\n--Jennifer Higdon\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lawdon Press","offers":[{"title":"Solo Part with Piano Reduction","offer_id":45031966376015,"sku":"LAWD-519","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Score","offer_id":45031966408783,"sku":"LAWD-517","price":86.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Set of Parts","offer_id":45031966441551,"sku":"LAWD-516","price":596.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Study Score","offer_id":45031966474319,"sku":"LAWD-518","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/ja\/collections\/higdon-oboe-concerto-2005.oembed","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
