Instrumental Solo Composition of the Day, Installment 10:
"Jolly Joker"
for
Oboe Solo
(2023)
"Jolly Joker" was composed and chosen for a call for scores for one-minute pieces for oboe solo from the very talented performer, Ava Wirth, and the Composer's Voice Fifteen Minutes of Fame Concert Series (Composer's Voice/Vox Novus/Robert Voisey).

The title comes from a phrase often uttered by Sgt. Schultz in the old sitcom "Hogan's Heroes," but the music has absolutely nothing to do with that! Rather, it is a whimsical, comical take on the opening motif on which the remainder of the piece is built.
The streaming concert took place on May 6, 2023. Follow the next URL to watch Ava Wirth's performance on YouTube.

Thank you for your time and attention. Have fun!
