Each movement over its short course transforms gradually from one thing to another ending with the exception ofFountains in a short cathartic coda. Some of the movements also take specific musical elements from Britten’s pieces.I very much viewed these pieces as musical Haiku and in that sense I hope they embody a sense ofpeace brevity and simplicity.The oboe version of Metamorphoses after Britten is dedicated to Melinda Maxwell.The saxophone version of Metamorphoses after Britten with an additional movement is dedicated to Vickiand Andrew Vaughan'      - Philip Venables     

'The genesis of Aubade is a piece for Piano which I wrote in the spring of 2015 and which I afterwards thought might go rather well on the Oboe. As I warmed to this idea and a piece for Oboe began to develop Irealised that I was constantly thinking about Oboist friends with whom I had had such pleasure when playing in various wind ensembles. Aubade is therefore in a way a celebration of those friends. There is nospecial significance in the title but it seems to me to be appropriate.' - Michael Walshe
