Orchestral
Caprio
Oboe and strings
“The initial distinct voices of oboe and strings gradually draw each other together into a vibrant weaving of flow and repose.”
2011
Caprio was written with the specific artistry of Joni Day in mind. I had the fortune to conduct and coach ensembles where Ms. Day played oboe, English horn, and oboe d’amore. Her sound – the color and poetry - stayed with me. Caprio presents the oboist in this realm of lyrical art.

Premiere: Waukegan Symphony Orchestra,
Joni Day, soloist. Oct. 23, 2011
