Ob177: Sonatina for Oboe and Piano Op. 61 by Lennox Berkeley. Chester, 1964/1990, SS, 14 + 4 pages. Lennox Berkeley (1903-1989) was an English composer who studied with Nadia Boulanger and Maurice Ravel. This work was written in 1962. In three movements: I. Molto moderato, II Andante, and III. Allegro. Quoting program notes from the publisher: "The first movement is classically structured, with a gracefully contoured first subject, a forceful ensuing idea and a murmurously lyrical second subject; the second movement generates an intensity of feeling which is the greater for the very restraint of its language; and the finale effectively introduces calm moments to offset the prevailing syncopated ebullience."

The piano punctuates, sometimes lays into a heavy groove for a short time, and pulls out sonorities ranging from booming low chords, plucked sounds, to ambiguous ethereal textures."

Ob207: La Seine for solo English Horn by James Matheson. Theodore Pressser Co. 2011/2014, SS, 3 pages. James Matheson (1970-) is an American composer. Inspired by Joan Mitchell's expressionist painting La Seine, Matheson's work parallels the painting in its wildly energetic exploration of texture. Matheson covers much ground within 4 minutes, and this is at times a study in tremolos between contrasting fingerings for one pitch, creating timbral intensity. La Seine was commissioned by the Albany Symphony for its English hornist Nathan Fossner. It has many rapid passages (much more than what is shown in the sample) and a range to F above the staff.

Ob184: Sonate No. 1 in E minor for oboe and guitar by Ferdinand Rebay. Philomele Editions, SS. Ferdinand Rebay (1880-1953) was an Austrian composer. He wrote 600 pieces for guitar apparently inspired by his niece Gertha Hammerschmied. This is unusual as original works for oboe and guitar are uncommon. It is a substantial work in four movements: I. Lebhaft bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell; II Minuet and Trio; III. Sehr ruhig, doch nicht schleppend; and IV. Rondo (Frisch bewegt). The writing for both instruments is charming and quite idiomatic and, for the oboist particularly, quite demanding.
