"making magic out of sound"


Kim Diehnelt score tutor

Although known primarily for her work on the podium, Kim Diehnelt received initial musical training in the US and Finland as clarinetist and composer. 2011 marks a return to this original passion. Her compositions show a refined use of time and gesture, frequently employing counterpoint and modern-modal tonalities within a succinct time frame.

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.
