{"product_id":"adieu","title":"Adieu","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2005, the contemporary oboist, Christopher Redgate, asked me to write a piece for a concert he was performing with Ian Pace (piano) at Kings College, London University.  About the same time, I discovered the news concerning the tragic death of my brother (to whom the work is dedicated).  Hence the title, ÒAdieu mon Fr�reÓ.  Unlike most of my music up to that point, I deliberately exploited the lyricism of the instrument.  This is especially evident in the opening phrase of the solo-oboe.  However, it is a lyricism that does not make any external references to my brotherÕs memory; e.g. there is no intention to be sentimental.  A year later, this work became the main source of material for ÒEmpfindsamkeitÓ (for oboe and string quartet).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ian Moore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44364291637409,"sku":"9781111115080","price":30.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/1ergpvmv-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1748278721","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/adieu","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
