Parable For Solo Oboe - Persichetti

Oboe Quintet written by Stephen Gryc in 1992 for Humbert Lucarelli.  Performed by Kristin Leitterman March 5, 2013.

Fantasy Variations On A Theme By Bela Bartok - Stephen Gryc

This piece was written for me by my dear friend, Jason Coleman.  The five movement work tells the story of the Oboe who is desperately trying to serenade and win over the love of the Soprano (both of which are performed by one person).  This performance is from April 3, 2012.

Serenade For Oboe And Piano - Jason A. Coleman

These are the 5 pieces for solo oboe written by Doráti.  Each of them stretch the oboe to its limits in many different ways.  From a performance March 5, 2012.

Cinq Piéces Pour Le Hautbois - Antal Doráti

This is my own arrangement of the popular Rachmaninoff Vocalise.  This was recorded in March 2010.

Vocalise - Rachmaninoff

AABA

This piece for three percussionists was inspired by the poem “Harlem” by Langston Hughes. 

This piece is not meant to be a play-by-play representation of the ideas in the poem; rather, it is a semblance of the impression I take away from reading it so often. I tried to capture this musically by creating increasingly violent “interruptions” to an otherwise melancholy sound world, until the interruptions become the reality.

...Or Does It Explode?
