Persian music is immensely rich in history, culture, and expression. There has always been a very unique style and feel to it with common themes and elements present in all songs created by Persian artists. It has specific unique elements in its composition, quite different from Western classical music, common across all forms of Persian music regardless of genre or generation: highly vocal melodies, greater use of ornamentation, and particular notation. While different, these elements are not incompatible with one another. This musical composition uses a string ensemble of Violin, Viola, Cello, and Double Bass to combine and incorporate the unique styles and elements of Persian music with those of Western classical music. This Persian-inspired waltz brings out aspects of both styles to convey both styles in harmony together and, at the same time, portrays each respective style within the setting and context of the other.

During my career as an oboist, I have only played the oboe d’amore one time before this project. I have always wondered why such a beautiful instrument is scarcely played today, and decided it was time to commission new works that aim to bring back the instrument’s popularity. Tim Carlos composed Fernweh: Sonata for Oboe d’amore and Piano and Two Sketches for Oboe d’amore, Guitar, and Percussion. This document covers the collaborative method Carlos and I experienced, the history of the oboe d’amore, edits made to the compositions, and most importantly a performer’s guide to these two new works (discussing both technical and musical challenges.) The recordings are also included. To purchase either work in its entirety, contact timcarloscomposer@gmail.com.
