Concerto For Oboe And Strings

A Capricious, Lyrical, And Nostalgic Work, It Is Often Considered To Be Vaughan Williams' Most Successful Work In This Form. The First Movement Is Pastoral In Feeling. The Second Movement Begins With A Minuet, Light And Staccato In Nature With A Middle Section Featuring A Musette's Characteristic Long Held Drone Played By The Oboe With The Melody In The Strings. The Third Movement Is A Scherzo And Two Trios.
