Gordon Jacob - Oboe Quartet (1938)

Gordon Percival Septimus Jacob CBE (5 July 1895 – 8 June 1984) was an English composer and teacher. He was a professor at the Royal College of Music in London from 1924 until his retirement in 1966, and published four books and many articles about music. As a composer he was prolific: the list of his works totals more than 700, mostly compositions of his own, but a substantial minority of orchestrations and arrangements of other composers' works. Those whose music he orchestrated range from William Byrd to Edward Elgar to Noël Coward. Please support my channel: https://ko-fi.com/bartjebartmans Oboe Quartet (1938) Dedication: Leon Goossens 1. Allegro moderato (0:00) 2. Scherzo. Allegro molto (7:20) 3. Andante semplice (10:52) 4. Rondo. Allegro molto (17:31) Daniel Bates, oboe Laura Lutzke, violin Adam Newman, viola Hannah Sloane, cello In some ways a more substantial piece than either (oboe) concerto, Jacob is supposed to have regarded it as one of his finest chamber works - it is a "serious" concert work, bigger in scope and character than the suites of miniatures which make up much of Jacob's chamber music, and moving from C minor to C major across its four movements. Critics admired it from the start, several commenting on the contrapuntal sophistication and demanding string writing with which Jacob put across his essentially cheerful musical ideas - noting, in particular the playful rhythmic complexity of the final Rondo - R G Bratby
