LTCL Recital Diploma Examination Repertoire
Sonata for Cor Anglais and Piano
From the publisher’s UMP Ltd.
After 35 years lying dormant, this exciting work, composed for Elizabeth Jacoby, is now popular among Oboists seeking new music for Cor Anglais. This is a recently rescued work from its faded pencil manuscript and is now available from United Music Publishing Ltd. The work is now in the repertoire of the recitalist and principal English Horn of The Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, Carolyn Hove.
Description
The Sonata is in three movements. A lively first movement is marked ‘Veloce’. The music juxtaposes rapid scale figures with an angular theme built on the interval of a fifth. The Piano features chord clusters and widely separated tones of imitative melodic writing. The central movement, ‘Adagio con rubato’ has a dark, pastoral mood. This opens with a solo cadenza for the Cor Anglais. The overriding spirit of the piece returns in the ‘Vivo’ finale. This is a characterful rondo with lively rhythms. There is much thematic interplay between the instruments that bookend a lyrical vocalise. The duration of the complete work is around ten minutes.
