Program Notes
-
The Sonata for Solo English Horn or Oboe was written for Thomas Stacy in 1986, and extensively revised for its publication in 1998. The 12-minute work is in one movement, and is characterized by quick changes in character and mood. Free passages of long notes show off the instrument's beauty of tone, while long legato lines alternating with fast passage work (including tibral shifts and double trills) show flexibility and virtuosity.
