Flute,Instrumental Duet,Oboe - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1177047 Composed by Dan Cook. Chamber,Classical,Contemporary,Contest,Festival,Instructional. 32 pages. Pecan Valley Music #777068. Published by Pecan Valley Music (A0.1177047). DUO is a conversation between two instruments that share many of the same functions within an ensemble, although they each have their own unique qualities that make them invaluable. As with many well-suited pairings of unique individuals, sometimes each member of the DUO speaks the same language but from a different perspective. This is represented musically in the second movement by an extended palindrome. At other times, each member flies right past the other without much consideration. Conversations often remain left open. Hopefully, for the sake of the DUO, frustrations and arguments (represented musically both with strings of monotonous chromaticism and long sighs through the instrument while the other is talking) resolve harmoniously, like in the three-pitch I Love You motive that closes the second movement.
