Aspects of a Landscape
Seven Miniatures for unaccompanied oboe

by Paul Reade (1943-1997) - British composer

1. Dawn (cold, grey light and first stirrings)
2. Birdsong
3. Bird-Movements
4. Sun Dance (two birds in the sunlight)
5. Conflict (birds fighting)
6. Lament
7. Celebration

The mood for these pieces was set by a visit in winter to Blythburg in Suffolk, where the marshes surround the ancient church. The scene reflects the timeless rituals of man and nature.
