by Jenni Brandon (b. 1977) - American composer

Places We Are From for Oboe, Bassoon, and Piano by Jenni Brandon, explores the idea of identity and where we come from both geographically, physically, and spiritually.

Other Versions available for Oboe & Alto Saxophone and Soprano Saxophone and Bassoon with piano.

Places We Are From explores the idea of identity and where we come from both geographically, physically, and spiritually. This unique exploration is reflected in the make-up of the 3 different instrumentation performance options for this work: oboe/bassoon/piano, oboe/alto saxophone/piano, soprano saxophone/bassoon/piano. Using these combinations to tell stories of joy, hope, frustration, and perseverance, each instrument has its own individual solo within the work, making each version unique. Allowing the individual voice of the instruments to shine, this creates the possibility of discovering who we are and finding happiness in the journey.

This work is in one movement with titled sections to help tell the story:
I. As One
II. Journey
III. Searching
IV. With Possibility
V. Joy & Hope
VI. Home

Duration approximately 15 minutes
