French
composer and teacher,
Darius Milhaud
(1892-1974) was a
prolific composer of the
20th century as a member
of 'Les Six'. His
compositions remain
highly regarded, Concerto
for Oboe being no
exception. Milhaud's
compositions are
influenced by jazz and
polytonality, as
exemplified in Concerto
for Oboe, which includes
a Piano reduction
accompaniment. Composed
in 1957, Concerto for
Oboe is an alternative,
exciting concerto made up
of three movements; 1)
Animated, 2) With
Serenity, and 3)
Animated. With a typical
performance lasting
around 18 and a half
minutes, Milhaud makes
use of variation in
articulation, complex
rhythms, chromaticism,
altering tempos,
variation in dynamics and
a wide tessitura, amongst
other aspects. Milhaud's
Concerto for Oboe is
essential to all advanced
oboists seeking modern
and exciting
repertoire..
