Published by Kenneth Baird Music (A0.1164033). Shadow Dance and Lament - for solo oboe and piano - by Kenneth BairdA most enjoyable and fresh choice for solo contest, festival, or recital. Beginning with a playful allegretto with an almost oriental sound, the melody reflects the shadow of a young person dancing. The next section is beautiful melody in a lyrical and expressive style. A very quick flourish then follows featuring a technical interplay between the oboe and the piano. The composition then concludes with a restatement of the original playful melody. This was composed in 1991. This new 2023 edition includes more detailed dynamic markings and a revised ending.

String Quartet String Quartet - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.726395 Composed by Kenneth Baird. Classical,Contemporary. Score and parts. 23 pages. Kenneth Baird Music #3094827. Published by Kenneth Baird Music (A0.726395). Imagine an 18th century palace as it comes to life with the sounds of a ball being held in honor of visiting royalty. Classic Dance by Kenneth Baird recreates this stately traditional highly formal style of dance music. Enjoyable parts for all, a variety of basic bowings (two-note slurs, staccato quarter notes, slurred staccato), and a variety of dynamics make this an excellent choice for developing ensemble precision with early intermediate string orchestras.  Entirely in first position (except for bass), Classic Dance could also provide a rewarding challenge for the final concert of the year for an outstanding beginning string orchestra. As was common in 18th century orchestra music, the cello and bass parts are virtually identical making Classic Dance musically satisfying even when performed without bass, whether by a string quartet or by a small string orchestra lacking basses. An optional violin III part is also provided for ensembles that are short-handed in viola. A rehearsal piano part is also included. String Orchestra (also suitable for string quartet). Early Intermediate or end of 1st year.
