Divertimento

for oboe, clarinet in B♭ and bassoon
by  David Post

I wrote the Divertimento for oboe, clarinet and bassoon in 1995 as an entry in the New England Reed Trio annual composition competition. I had admired the playing of this group and their promotion of wonderful, if rarely heard repertoire of this combination, much of it French. The prospect of writing for reed trio seemed like a challenge–and a great deal of fun!

To my pleasant surprise, the piece took First Price that year and was premiered by the New England Reed Trio in Boston, in November 1996.

Light in character, the piece is in three brief connected movements, played without pause. It was recorded commercially by the Moravian Chamber Players for the MMC label.

    The Trio for flute, clarinet in A and piano has to be interpreted as a long Recitative. The original intention was to describe a metaphoric mountain climb with various happenings until reaching the summit. The work is divided into sections and it comprehends various combinations of instruments: flute starts alone with the first recitative, then […]

    The satiric piece Grottesca (Grotesque) aims to explore a particular area of humor. It is not programme music, although it depicts with irony the various accidents that can happen during a music performance. A close analysis of the piece should reveal this. For the first performance a sort of pantomime was realized to emphasize better […]
