Sonata for Oboe & Piano, Brian Raphael Nabors (2016) 

Sonata for Oboe and Piano (2016)
I was asked to compose this work by my very good friend & oboist Bonnie Farr for the International Double Reed Society Conference of 2016. I was elated to write for this instrumentation as many woodwind players crave new works that have the potential to become standards among this instrument group. I sought to write a sonata that was timeless, almost classic, and tells a very captivating story through the tapestry of its harmonic language, and stark rhythmic shifts. The oboe is a widely expressive instrument with many emotional colorations, from the whimsical, to the utmost passionate melodic phrases.
