Four Illuminations
Tania Gabrielle French
About this work:
Commissioned by internationally renowned oboist Allan Vogel in 1996, Four Illuminations received its premiere with the Los Angeles Piano Trio on the opening concert of the Stotsenberg Recital Series at Pepperdine University. Aiding in the creation of this work was the composer’s close acquaintance with the artistry of each instrumentalist she was writing for. It is no accident therefore, that each of the four movements features one performer in a solo cadenza which underscores his or her unique contribution to this ensemble.
