As If

Oboe Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1018926 Composed by Benjamin Harry Sajo. 20th Century,Contemporary. Individual part. 4 pages. Benjamin Sajo #6072953. Published by Benjamin Sajo (A0.1018926). Fugue: Wear Pearls and Smile is, on the outset, a fast, rambunctious adventure for many voices playing at the same time. It was conceived as a pairing for the equally vivacious second symphony of Ludwig van Beethovenâ€“his 250th birthday is this yearâ€“but can stand on its own as one of my hardest, most challenging works to cook up.This piece is dedicated to those forced to appear positive when internally theyâ€™re falling apart. The title is inspired by a quote thatâ€™s been with me for a while, Why is it that men can be bastards and women must wear pearls and smile? by Lynn Hecht Schafren, the celebrated American jurist famous for campaigning for gender equity in courts. Iâ€™m taking the quote out of its initial context, but the power of that quote, for me, exemplifies how hard it is to maintain a sense of emotional decorum and dignity when youâ€™re authentically a hot mess. And whatâ€™s more of a musical hot mess than a fugue?There are two realities to this piece. Iâ€™ll quote Dmitri Shostakovich, from his autobiography: The rejoicing is forced, created under threat, [â€¦] Itâ€™s as if someone were beating you with a stick and saying, â€˜Your business is rejoicing, your business is rejoicing,â€™ and you rise, shaky, and go marching off, muttering â€˜Our business is rejoicing, our business is rejoicing.â€™ On the one hand, it is insincere happiness, cloying perhaps. But the other truth, Iâ€™ll quote Oscar Hammerstein II, from The King and I: While shivering in my shoes / I strike a careless pose / And whistle a happy tune / And no one ever knows, / I'm afraid. I forced myself, against all impulses of my current being, to forge happiness. This piece, with its origin being a mental puzzle (fugues are puzzles), it became a construct where I could lift myself up and regain a sense of purpose. Therefore, it is inventedâ€“out of a literal need to surviveâ€“pure, genuine happiness.Future Performances: If you are interested in performing this work, please e-mail me.ABOUT THE COMPOSER: Benjamin Sajo (b. 1988) is a Canadian composer of contemporary classical music, as well as an educator. Since developing a fiercely independent creative voice upon the completion of his studies at Western (2010) and McGill Universities (2013), he continues to find inspiration from the intersection of mythology, art, and nature upon the contemporary human experience. In 2019, he released his premiere album of original music, The Great War Sextet: Canadian War Poetry with Trombone & Strings , with support from the Ontario Arts Council. He is a member of SOCAN and the League of Canadian Composers.

Oboe Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.927664 Composed by Joseph Hollings. 20th Century,Contemporary. Individual part. 3 pages. Joseph Hollings Publishing #6683341. Published by Joseph Hollings Publishing (A0.927664). Duration: approx 4:00The Cry of Beltane for solo oboe was written for and premiered by an advanced, young oboe student, Leo Sherwood, and first performed in May 2017 as part of the Cleveland Composers Guildâ€™s Creativity: Learning through Experience program. The piece was the program opener and is ideally suited to open a recital.Beltane is the anglicized name of the Celtic festival held on May Day, a pagan festival signifying the beginning of summer. The piece is intended to evoke a ritualistic, call to summer; a crying out and calling forth of sun and growth. The piece should sound aggressive and the oboe should aim to make the most of its harder-edged timbre, rather than its lyrical qualities. While the notation is precise, the piece should sound as if the performer had improvised it. The bigger the contrast in dynamics the better.Joseph Hollings (ASCAP) is a composer, arranger and music educator, and has taught music to students of all levels for over twenty five years. His arrangements have been performed internationally, including in London's West End, and have been recorded by the Onyx Brass Quintet and members of the Cleveland Orchestra. He studied composition with Harrison Birtwistle at King's College London, worked for the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, and established Really Nearly Records with the ever-imaginative Tim Ten Yen.

With this piece for solo Oboe I want to raise awareness to dying population.You have a bee to thank for every one in three bites of food you eat.A single bee colony can pollinate 300 million flowers each day.Grains are primarily pollinated by the wind, but the best and healthiest food fruits, nuts, and vegetables are pollinated by bees.Seventy out of the top 100 human food crops, which supply about 90 percent of the world's nutrition, are pollinated by bees.In the US, among crops that require bee pollination, the number of bee colonies per hectare has declined by 90% since 1962. The bees cannot keep pace with the winter die-off rates and habitat loss. Biologists have found more than 150 different chemical residues in bee pollen, a deadly pesticide cocktail according to University of California apiculturist Eric Mussen. The chemical companies Bayer, Syngenta, BASF, Dow, DuPont, and Monsanto shrug their shoulders at the systemic complexity, as if the mystery were too complicated.They advocate no change in pesticide policy.After all, selling poisons to the world's farmers is profitable. - Greenpeace.com
