| Program Notes: | Shepherd’s Ply was written 25 - 27 December 1998 for composer Orianna Webb as a New Year’s present. Webb’s instrument is the bassoon and I couldn’t resist using it in this bucolic atmosphere, even though shepherds are more often known for their flute-playing. The first performance was given by Renee Dee, bassoon, and Robert Frankenberry, piano on 24 June 1999 at the College of Wooster, Ohio. RZ |
