Skyward (2021) for unaccompanied oboe
Duration: 3’00”
Skyward was commissioned by ToniMarie Marchioni, professor of oboe at the University of Kentucky. She was looking for a piece based on a painting by a Kentucky artist that would be appropriate for a children's concert of K-3 students. I chose this very cool (and very 'Kentucky') painting by Darrell Ishmael which you can see here (scroll down for a bit), then proceeded to write a very difficuly, very flashy piece that children of all ages would be excited to hear. It will receive it's premiere performance in Fall 2021 at the University of Kentucky.
