“Four Romances” for Oboe and Piano are melodious, late romantic style pieces with conventional form and idiomatic writing. The movements are: Berceuse, Siciliano, Intermezzo, and Caprice.
Often a festival selection, Morris’ Jazz Sonata provides a change of pace for the clarinetist. The jazz rhythms and interplay between the piano and clarinet make this piece so fun to play and hear.
This piece explores the various sounds and relationships between 3 disparate instruments utilizing alternative playing techniques such as singing while playing on the horn, clicking the tongue on the flute, and striking the double bass to create a percussive sound.
