Wood Song - SOLO OB

Wood Song

for solo oboe

by Jenni Brandon (b. 1977)

Wood Song (2019) was inspired by the Sara Teasdale (1884-1933) poem of the same name. It tells of the wood thrush bird as well as the poet’s honesty of kissing life “scars and all”. Listen for variations and interpretations on the wood thrush’s ethereal and mysterious sounds, telling the journey of a soul through poem and music.
