Proclamation (2004) for solo oboe was written for and is dedicated to oboist Toni Marie
Marchioni.
The work is a brief burst of energy for solo oboe, as befits the title. The musical material
from the work comes from the sketches and charts for Spectrum: Concerto-Cantata for
Oboe, Chorus, and Chamber Orchestra (2003-04) -- the oboe part of which was written for
Ms. Marchioni.
