Work Overview
Fantasia for Oboe and Piano is written for oboists Joshua Webster, inspired by his love of astronomy. During 2020 and 2021 Joshua spent a lot of time at home in New Zealand looking through his telescope at the stars, and in particular the planets Jupiter and Saturn. This inspired a semi narrative for the work. Starting in a leaping fashion, as if trying to escape gravity's pull, the piece moves to a slow-moving Earth melody before travelling to the grandeur of Jupiter, then finally spinning off into the depths of space.
The pitch material is all derived from the planets themselves.
