Trio for Oboe, Bassoon and Double Bass

Duration: 5'

2017
Kendra Harder ยท Trio for Oboe, Bassoon, and Double Bass
Originally, this piece was to be a duo between the oboe and bassoon. As I began composition, I had this idea of a continuous lilting eighth-note motif, which would be rather impractical because the bassoonist needs to breathe. So I added a double bass.

Now when a classical musician puts forth a meme that says "No one writes music in the Lydian mode," what is a composer to do but take that as a challenge and in fact WRITE something in the LYDIAN mode?? So that's what I did. In the return of the A-section, we go from Phrygian to Lydian. You're welcome.
​

This work is both quirky and mysterious - despite it's very plain title - and it is one of my favourite pieces I've ever composed.
