Duet for oboe (doubles English horn) and guitar.
Grade 5. Approx. duration: 12 minutes.
Set includes a score and one part.
The term, Arcadia (or Arcady), is a word that has a number of different meanings. According to Greek mythology it was the home of the god, Pan. It was a region in ancient Greece located on the Peloponnese peninsula. Because of its secluded location, by the Middle Ages it had come to signify an imaginary idyllic paradise.
In his work, “Seven Days in Arcady,” Juan López-Maya draws his inspiration not only from Greek mythology, but also, from an actual visit to that region, thus mixing traditional stories with reality. The notable and well-known expressive and melodic qualities of the oboe and English horn join with the guitar to create a timbral combination that perfectly fits the nature of the seven movements that make up this composition. At the same time, the work becomes an important addition to an instrumental duo with little actual repertoire.
The oboe’s conventional technique is occassionally punctuated by glissandi and slap-tongued notes.
