‌to a beginning from no end RNCM 40th Anniversary Celebration

Oboe and Piano

Gillian R. Menichino

...to a beginning from no end, a piece that doesn’t necessarily begin nor does it really end. I had written it without a preconceived concept of an ‘official’ opening, rather I look at it as an upclose framing of musical material from within the middle of a complete work. The unsettling rhythmic features drive the overall momentum and characterize the pointillistic texturing of the musical material. The music simply makes an exit as opposed to arriving at any ‘official’ or presupposed end.
