SONG FOR SIDNEY
A plaintive and heartfelt tribute to the late Sidney Sutcliffe, former Principal Oboe of the London Philharmonic Orchestra and professor at the Royal College of Music, where Melinda Maxwell studied with him. First performed at his memorial concert in 2001 at St John's Smith Square, London.
Composer: Maxwell, Melinda
CADENZAS to Mozart's Oboe Concerto K314
Composer: Maxwell, Melinda
This publication consists of three examples of cadenzas for each of the three movements plus suggestions for the ‘pick-ups’ in movement three. Over the years as a teacher I’ve noticed that the question of what to play at the cadenza produces extreme indecision. What to play and how to play it are almost insurmountable problems. This collection is a starting point.
PIBROCH
Composer: Maxwell, Melinda
Instrumentation: ob. (drone)
In essence, Pibroch 1981 is a celebration of a melody with variations that gradually transform it. Each variation elaborates and obscures the opening melody until at the very end the melody metamorphoses into a new one.
