Early Music America Spring 2014 - (Page 71)

Because of the instrument's spread overtones, reedier sound, and inconsistently veiled notes throughout its scale, chordal pitch-shifting on the Baroque oboe, for example, was much harder than on the violin. I did not stop tweaking and ﬁxing bugs until the last minute before the performance. And I wrote and programmed a new variation the morning of the concert, which Jae-won and I rehearsed hours before the doors opened. Although the rariﬁed atmosphere of a summer music festival does not in any sense represent reality, this experience taught me that time for practice and for reﬂection about the music has to be built into the schedule when doing such a huge project like this; otherwise, performance aspects tend to suffer. After the premiere, I came away with a better perspective on how I can use my skills as a performer-turned-programmerturned-composer to further my capabilities on Baroque oboe as well as deepen my overall enjoyment of composing. Someone asked me after the performance, "What happens now? Where do you go after this, and how far can you take Baroque music or period instruments into this electronic world?" I didn't have an answer for him then, but I think answering that question has become an important goal for me as a composer and instrumentalist. How far can I take the Baroque oboe (or any Baroque instrument, for that matter) into this new world of sound processing and what new musical idioms will I discover along the way?
