CAPRICCELLO est une pièce concertante pour bande de hautbois et violoncelle soliste, Elle est constituée de quatre mouvements : GRAVE, VIVACE, ADAGIO et VIVACE,Les deux premières parties constituent une ouverture à la Française - après une introduction puissante à l'écriture verticale, le violoncelle entame une fugue au tempo vif, Le mode dorien, le ton de ré mineur et la gamme par ton s'y bousculent puis s'y entremêlent,Ce début est fortement marqué par une influence du répertoire renaissance et surtout baroque, Le troisième mouvement, adagio, est plus introspectif, L'utilisation du violoncelle dans son registre aigu apporte une tension palpable et nous amène davantage vers des couleurs romantiques teintées de mélancolie, Enfin, le vivace final reprend -pour l'essentiel- les éléments précédemment entendus et clôt la pièce avec brio,Commandée par Jacques Bernaert pour le 2ème festival ' week-end à la campagne ', cette oeuvre a été jouée pour la première fois le 25 juin 2010 en l'église de Saint-Arnoult de l'Oise grâce à l'heureuse rencontre du violoncelliste Jacques Bernaert et de La Bande des Hautbois dirigée par Claude Villevieille,Collection Les bandes de hautbois / Hautbois

A strongly influential piece of repertoire the piece Sweet And Go for solo Oboe composed by Armando Ghidoni for Marika Lombardi elegantly explores the poetic and technical resources of the instrument.    The diptych approximately six minutes in length opens with an Adagio a free declamation in recitative that is an oasis of tenderness to which the glissandi bring a whiff of the Orient. In contrast to this voluptuous dream the second section marked Vivo brilante ben ritmato enables the soloist to display a sparkling virtuosity. Melodies rhythms nuances and colours all contribute to this festival ofingenuity.

Five North-Eastern Scenes for oboe and piano was commissioned by the Kunstförderverein Kreis Düren e. V. for the 2016 Spannungen chamber music festival in Heimbach Germany. 'The piece is in five shortmovements. The first third and fifth explore space and melancholy while the 2nd and 4th are fleeting and at times more violent. This is the third work in which I have used the paintings of the Scottish artistJoan Eardley as a starting point. Her vast emotive snow scenes painted outside in the brief periods of calm between snow storms capture the striking yet bleak beauty of North East Scotland an area where I grew up but have notvisited for many years.' - Helen Grime.
