Performed by Elaine Douvas oboe Accompaniment: Erik Nielsen piano This wonderful album for the beginning to early intermediate oboe player includes thirteen pieces ranging from Boccherini to Grieg to Richard Strauss to William Walton. Says James Roe of The Double Reed: With the poise of a great virtuoso [Ms. Douvas] approaches these 'easy' pieces as she would a solo line in a great symphony...the richness of her tone the variety in her articulation and the beauty and clarity of her line all represent the very best example for students as they develop their concept of playing. And it's all pretty inspiring for us professional oboists as well. Ms. Douvas's extensiveperformance notes are a delight and will be inspiring to students and an important aid to teachers. Includes a complete solo part printed on high-quality ivory paper annotated with performance suggestions and a compact disc with complete versions (with soloist) followed by piano accompaniments to each piece minus the soloist.

British composer Benjamin Britten’s Six Metamorphoses After Ovid is a piece of program music written for solo Oboe in 1951. The piece was inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses and each of the titular six metamorphoses is based on a character from Roman mythology and includes an inscription summarizing their story. The music for each metamorphosis reflects its character atmosphere or plot – for example the fifth metamorphosis Narcissus (‘who fell in love with his own image and became a flower’) is marked lento piacevole and is meant to convey the act of staring at a reflection in a pool. By virtue of the musicbeing written for a solo instrument Britten allows the performer to be highly expressive so that the characteristics of each God can be fully represented through the performance. With a performance time of ca. 13 minutes this virtuoso solo piece will quickly become a staple in any intermediate to advanced Oboe player’s repertoire.

 CHARABANDA est une pièce imaginée pour Bande de Hautbois et percussions, Elle a été écrite tout spécialement pour Claude Villevieille et rend hommage à son grand esprit d'ouverture musical - en effet, Charabanda visite à la fois la musique sérieuse et la musique festive, Après une sarabande solennelle en guise d'introduction, les percussions se lancent dans une rythmique latino et entraînent la ' Banda ' vers un instant ' Chabada ' !L'unité de la pièce est assurée grâce à la thématique qui reste sensiblement identique du début à la fin, Charabanda a été commandée par La Bande des Hautbois pour fêter son chef ! Claude Villevieille a entendu pour la première fois cette pièce le 8 septembre 2012 à Champignelles (Yonne),Collection Les bandes de hautbois / Hautbois
