Small Ensemble Flute,Horn,Oboe - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.676767 By Essex Winds. By Ronald Beckett. 20th Century,Classical,Contest,Festival,Instructional. Score and parts. 15 pages. Ronald Beckett #285686. Published by Ronald Beckett (A0.676767). The Trio appears on the Arcady CD “A Beckett Miscellany” from 2002. Originally written for a high school trio, the work is simple to assemble and has been a favourite of amateurs and professionals alike. A version is also available for violin, oboe, and cello. Listening to these charming suites, epilogues, fantasias, dances, toccatas, and trios by Canadian composer Ronald Beckett makes one realize just how far the neo-tonal counter-revolution has come. Written over a 23-year period, these are cheery, player-friendly 'works to be shared' (in the composer's words) employing baroque counterpoint, occasional minirealist rhythms, and lots of diatonic tunes. Arcady, a chamber group founded by Beckett himself, plays with bubbly energy. -American Record Guide If Ron Beckett's music is half as much fun to write as it is to hear, he must go around smiling all the time -Richard Todd, Ottawa Citizen.
