Songs of Sadness and Pitie
for oboe and piano
by John Madden (b. 1956) - British composer
  1. Adagio Lamentoso
  2. Quasi Adagio
There pass the careless people 
Who call their souls their own
Here by the road I loiter
How idle and alone.
     -A.E. Houseman
Written in 1973 for James Ledward. This work is characterized by long cantabile phrases demanding sustained breath control. The Houseman verse is not intended to be read aloud, and is included merely as an indication of the idea that the composer was trying to illustrate.
