Metamor
phoses after Britten was

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

This
collection of oboe music,
written by living
composers, is an
invaluable resource for
any oboist of Grade 8 and
conservatoire standard
who is curious about
widening their
repertoire, and exploring
the various languages of
modern music. The term
modern music can alienate
many minds who may think
it will be too difficult
technically; aurally
unknown and therefore
unsatisfying; harmful or
damaging to their musical
sensibility. To all these
points this volume has
the answers. Every one of
these pieces requires
challenging technical
skills demanded of any of
the more traditional oboe
repertoire, and
additionally they will
improve technique. Each
piece portrays a
characterand language
that is approachable and
compelling. Far from
damaging musical
sensibility these musical
types will open the ear
and enrich the spirit.
Some are physically
demanding and require
very good breath control,
others need patience in
learning new fingerings
and timbres, and some
travel to extreme
registers. But, in all
cases, the effort will be
rewarding, and not only
that, the knowledge
gained about the oboe and
how it works will be
equally entertaining and
stimulating.

NOTE: The year 2020
has definitely been a
very challenging year
with many upheavals.
During this time of the
COVID-19 health crisis,
wearing masks, and high
racial tensions, I
decided to compose four
short solo woodwind works
for flute, oboe,
clarinet, and bassoon,
which represent the core
woodwind section in an
orchestra. I was inspired
to compose these short
pieces after I first
heard Igor Stravinsky's
three short pieces for
clarinet, which totals a
little more than four
minutes in duration. I
thought that it would be
nice to highlight and
honor my African-American
male colleagues in the
orchestral music world. I
wanted to celebrate the
fact that they are the
principal player in the
section of their
respective orchestras.
The short pieces are as
follows: Principal
Brother No. 1 for flute
solo for Demarre McGill,
Principal Flute of the
Seattle Symphony
Orchestra, Principal
Brother No. 2 for oboe
solo for Titus Underwood,
Principal Oboe of the
Nashville Symphony
Orchestra, Principal
Brother No. 3 for
clarinet solo for Anthony
McGill, Principal
Clarinet of the New York
Philharmonic, and
Principal Brother No. 4
for bassoon solo for
Bryan Young, Principal
Bassoon of the Baltimore
Chamber Orchestra. These
works all begin with
notes that are
representative of their
name; D for Demarre, B
for Titus (ti in
solfège starting on
C), A for Anthony, and Bb
for Bryan. There is also
a rhythmic figure in the
opening measures of each
piece, which represent
the utterance of their
names. All four of these
works are rhapsodic in
nature with elements of
improvisation. - James
Lee III.
