Some Music
Tim Risher
About this work:
this piece is in 4 movements. It was composed for early instruments, but can just as easily be played using modern instruments - piano instead of harpsichord, etc.
1) Quintus. With oboe d'amore. based on 5ths. The use of melody in two parts.
2) North Port. With oboe. A further development of two-part melody, this movement is based on a short piece from "The Sacred Harp".
3) Parting. Oboe d'amore. An arrangement of a short piece from "Southern Harmony".
4) Perpetuum. Oboe. A perpetual motion, somewhat like a hornpipe.
