This arrangement of Ennio Morricone's 'Gabriel's Oboe' is a fantastic teaching tool. Rated Grade 3-4, the notes are accessible, but it truly encourages students to develop nuanced dynamics and intonation. The Hal Leonard engraving is clear and well-organized, making it easy to read. Perfect for advanced intermediate students ready to tackle expressive solo repertoire.

As a collaborative pianist, this string orchestra arrangement of 'Gabriel's Oboe' by Robert Longfield provides a wonderfully supportive texture. The piano reduction effectively captures the rich harmonic backing without overpowering the solo oboe, flute, or violin. It's ideal for rehearsing with a soloist, allowing them to focus on musicality and tone. A well-crafted score that enhances any performance.

Thank you for sending Gabriel's Oboe.The ordering process was smooth, very clear and satisfying! However, it took a little time from dispatch to arrival. I had lived in Milwaukee about 10 years ago and realised after I placed my order that I had a chance to live in Milwaukee. I felt some kind of connection.Thank you!

This is a very simple song but without a strong , mellow tremulo the sutrained notes will seem bare of texture. Suggest copying in a score-to-midi software and playing in a quality midi orchestral player , leaving out the solo . This can all be purchased for under $200. The orchestral synthesis is amazingly good so you can rehearse with the result and use it to play in small performnce settings. The song appeals to audiences who have little affection for classics.

I ordered this with hopes of maybe doing it in the Fall of 2013. The quality of the arrangement is terrific, plenty of parts for the instruments without duplicating. One reviewer felt this expensive, but in my experience of having bought instrumental parts for Back Cantatas and the like, it is well within the range of reasonable. No reason to have an errata sheet, this arrangement is well crafted. I rated the difficulty as Intermediate because it IMO requires good musicality. While the notes as deceptively easy, without an advanced sense of nuance, it will not carry well. The oboe soloist has to be probably advanced to bring this piece to life. Having been a fan of the movie Mission for years, this arrangement evokes scenes from that movie instantly. Overall, well worth it.

I as an oboist love this piece. It is not hard but demands good dynamic control and intonation. and can be played with a little rhythmic freedom. A joy to play . arranger Robert Longfield has 2 versions this one in D and one for band in Bb the band version is a little easier this would be a good choose for young players first oboe solo peace.
