Oboe & Trad Flute

Exploring Celtic Traditions on the Oboe, English Horn, and Wooden (Trad) Flute.

The first time I heard Celtic music it sent a chill up my spine. I instantly fell in love with the traditions and the style. It took many years to come back to this style of music, and even more years to start applying it to the oboe and English horn.

It isn’t hard to imagine some of these beautiful and haunting melodies on a double reed instrument. However, adapting the ornaments and traditional styles has been an incredible, and humbling, journey so far.

I am currently working on an album of Celtic music from the 18th century by a composer Turlough O’Carolan. While there are a number of wide styles to explore, the Scottish Baroque and 17th and 18th century music is particularly interesting on the oboe and English horn.

I hope to have a number of albums recorded over the years, including sheet music and unique arrangments.
