Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) studied at the Paris Conservatoire before embarking upon a successful composing career. The composer wrote for a variety of instrumentations and his works remain popular to this day Escales for Oboe and Piano being no exception. Composed in 1922 Escales is suitable for advanced level oboists. Ibert was a unique composer who did not associate himself with any particular style. His music is generally lighthearted often reflecting the composer's wit and humour. Containing a variety of musical aspects and techniques and being significantly very rhythmic Ibert 's Escales is an exciting addition to the advanced Oboe repertoire.

Euphoria is a bracing composition which concentrates its energy on the baritones/euphoniums. The solo parts require at least two soloists. This piece opens with a syncopated introduction followed by a statement of the simple melodic theme interpreted by the baritones/euphoniums. The style of performance is particularly affected by the alternation of staccato and legato passages. The finale of this work develops through a progression of accelerandos and crescendos leading to an amazing conclusion.

This new work is based on Irish folk music.In the first part the main theme is presented as a ballad starting with the piccolo (as replacement for the flute which is widely used in Ireland) moving on the wood section to end with the entire orchestra.It then changes to a kind of rock style theme: powerful rhythmic accompaniment with effects in dampers a pedal point and the use of the spoons which is typical of Irish music (Irish pub) high-range bongo drum (replacement for the Bodhran) etc.In this second part I introduced a second theme as a counterbalance played by several groups which has clearly a more legato character and therefore sounds more melodious.The climaxof the work starts in the low-range brass section with its marcato theme that is developed with a great deal of rhythmicity in the accompaniment clusters etc. into a percussion solo interspersed by the orchestra in five-eight time with frequent parallel movement in chords (folk music style).Towards the end theme 2 recurs twice: first as heard earlier with an extra counter melody and accompaniment pattern then in a canonical form in which the theme is played by three groups. The conclusion is a repeat of the middle section in five-eight time.I have tried to use many of the colours of a wind orchestra by having the wood sections and brass section play alone and making extensive use of dampers. Percussion also has a prominent role throughout the work.
