Gabriel's Oboe (Euph Part)

Post by kalishdude »

Hey, can anyone let me know just about how difficult of a piece Gabriel's Oboe is. (the one performed by David Childs does in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCqlMcUiFSk If anyone also has a PDF copy of this piece that would be much appreciated as well. Thanks for your help!

I don't know if we played the Childs version or not but the version we played is not hard at all if the relatively hightessatura doesn't bother you. The high C at the end is sustained pp for four bars. That's hard.

You can order a copy of Oystein Baadsvik's version here:

just search "Oboe" and you will get a listing.

Not technically hard, but musically.... In addition to the Child's recording, Adam Frey has quite a nice version on one of his recent CD's and a sample from Oystein can be found here:
