A la Celtic

This is a piece composed in imitation of the style of old music from the British Islands. It consists of 2 parts:  1) a moderately-moving 1st, reminding of an old ballade 2) and a faster, more “dancy” second part at 2:10. (The tempo signatures may seen confusing, but while listening you will discover that the description of the feel is correct). The parts can exist as separate cues.   Harp, oboe, English horn, flute piccolo, tambourine      

Length 3:08,   1 part -63 bpm, 6/8;   2 part – 114 bpm, 2/4

Siciliana

Blue tag = for a demonstration only; not for sale.  This is the final movement of the suite for oboe and orchestra. This piece was conceived as a scene from a festival, masquerade. The crowd feels exited, dancing and intermingling. Suddenly, Pierrot occurred, but even his plaintive theme ends in lightful major with a hope for love, and the mass happily rushes to party again.  

Acoustic oboe (Eugene Sidorov), symphony orchestra  //  Length  4:22, 94 bpm, 6/8

Reminiscences of the Ballet

Blue tag = for a demonstration only; not for sale. This piece was conceived as a movement of a suite for oboe and orchestra (III, Scherzo). Its dancy character and theatrical imagery gives a positive association with a scene from a ballet. Lush orchestration helps create a powerful and festive climax.

The excerpt between 1:01 and 1:14 strongly associates with a festive event like a victory or a massive celebration, and could, probably, be used separately.

Acoustic oboe (Eugene Sidorov), symphony orchestra, carillon  //  Length  02:02, 184 bpm, 4/4

Good-bye Forever

Blue tag = for a demonstration only; not for sale. The name says it all. This is a very emotional piece with an expressive melody and profound feelings. The music might make you think about things we can’t return, or  people that are gone, but along with that it still has a warm glow to it. The end gives a powerful conclusion in a major key.  –  Piano, oboe, strings, winds  //  Length 3:14,   73 bpm,   4/4
