Prelude & Quodlibet
for oboe and English horn
by Arne Running (1943-2016) - American composer and clarinet player

The Prelude movement savors the lyrical and expressive capabilities of the two solo instruments. Beginning with tender simplicity, the music gradually leads to an impassioned climax before closing with a brief reprise of the opening material. The Quodlibet is a madcap march. Over twenty well-known oboe and English horn orchestral excerpts are humorously quoted, and each instrument gets plenty of chances to shine. Audiences laugh out loud - a welcome sound in concert halls!
