Metamorphoses after Britten was written for Melinda Maxwell, for UYMP's Signals volume of new music for Oboe. It was first performed by Melinda at York University on 24th November 2010. I - A Mountain II - Fixation III - Flowers IV - Fountains Metamorphoses after Britten by philipvenables Metamorphoses after Britten are just that: four miniatures, each inspired by one of Benjamin Britten’s Six Metamorphoses after Ovid for solo oboe. Each movement, over its short course, transforms gradually from one thing to another, ending, with the exception of Fountains, in a short, cathartic coda. Some of the movements also take specific musical elements from Britten’s pieces. I verymuch viewed these pieces as musical Haiku, and in that sense I hope they embody a sense of peace, 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 Vicki and Andrew Vaughan      - Philip Venables     .

Das Quartett do-re-mi-fagott schrieb die Komponistin Barbara Heller im Jahr 2009 fur das gleichnamige Fagott-Quartett des Frankfurter Jugend-Musik-Ensembles. Heller entwickelte ein einpragsames Motiv aus den vier Tonen c-d-e-f bzw. do-re-mi-fa, das zur Namensgebung der Komposition fuhrte. Mit einfachem musikalischen Material entlockt sie dem Fagott eine bemerkenswerte klangliche Vielfalt und entdeckt die Wandlungsfahigkeit dieses Instruments. Alle vier Stimmen sind gleichberechtigt: Motive und Melodiefloskeln werden einander zugespielt und weitergefuhrt. Heller regt zu einer freien Interpretation an und gibt den Spielern Raum zur eigenen Improvisation uber das Motiv. do-re-mi-fagott richtet sich an fortgeschrittene Musikschuler und ambitionierte Hobbymusiker, die Freude am Zusammenspiel haben und die klanglichen Facetten des Instruments ausschopfen wollen.
