The start of my Oratorio 'The Crown of Life' composed in 1999. I had never composed a piece on this scale before, so started in as 'grand gesture' way as I could imagine! Unfortunately, the 1st oboe came in a bar too soon on an early lead, and then was missing for the next significant oboe moment (ooch!) but - as yet - there has never been a second performance, so this is the only version I can post. If you want to know how it ends, do please listen to the Duet and Finale tracks which are in my 'Crown of Life' album.
