From the composer: “COVID OBOE VIOLA OVID is a duet in three movements for oboe and viola which I wrote during the pandemic lock-down and which had movements virtually premiered on the Fine Arts Club of Pasadena series and on Living Music Live, Pirate Radio Edition. Each movement reflects on the experience of the pandemic through the lens of a different quote by the ancient Roman poet Ovid:

I. ‘Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.’

II. ‘What we have been, or now are, we shall not be tomorrow.’

III. ‘My intention is to tell of bodies changed into new forms.’ “
