Trio
for Two Oboes and English Horn
I. Animato

IV. Con Brio
Trio for Two Oboes and English Horn is a series of short compositional exercises that I wrote in September of 2023 in order to take a break from a larger project in which I had reached a temporary impasse. They were a welcome and refreshing distraction, a divertimento in its most literal sense.
Duration: 8 minutes
