Book Description
Abstract: Music for oboe, oboe d'amore and English horn by Canadian composers is not generally well-known in the oboe playing community. Specific descriptive information is needed to facilitate the performance and study of Canadian works. In this bibliography, fifty-five works for oboe, oboe d'amore, and English horn alone, with piano, organ or tape, with orchestra (when piano reductions were available), and in like ensembles, were closely examined for style and level of difficulty. Information concerning date of composition, duration, premiere, dedication, and commission was also sought. The study was limited to works deposited in the Canadian Music Centre because of the ready availability of the collection. Additional works are listed in the appendices.
