Product Details


Product Description

In Greek mythology, Niobe was the wife of King Amphion of Thebes.  She boasted the superiority of her six sons and six daughters to the gods.  The deities Apollo and Artemis killed all of her children in response.  After burying her children, she returned home and weeping, turned into a rock on Mount Sipylus.

This one movement programmatic work features the oboe as the weeping mother using glissando produced by moving the reed out of the mouth, rather than slowly depressing the keys.  Standard woodwind quintet instrumentation.
