Product Description

This duet is a Meditation for Oboe and Cello. The current media call this style of music "Spiritual Minimalism". This particular composition utilizes the centering 'ah' of Buddhism, the meditative resting periods of Zen, the plainchant of Christianity, the minimalism of New Age, and more. My inspiration for the melodic line is the 3 main words in the traditional Ave Maria text; "Ave" (Hail) higher in the staff for celebration, "Gratia" (Grace) mid-staff for acceptance, and "Dominus" (God) low in the staff for humility. The melodic range for Oboe is thus quite large - a full two octaves, from Bb above the staff to Middle C. The cello accompaniment is the same in every bar of the entire piece; a circling minimalist 2 chord broken triad ostinato. Whether for personal meditation or public performance, this piece will relax, focus, and recharge all who perform it and hear it. 2 pages; 3:00 minutes (presented in a condensed single staff score with the Cello part notated in the introduction then the score switches to the Oboe part with instructions for the Cello to repeat that measure for the remainder of the song. 2 copies provided in download.)
