A. Ursyn Orchestra / Oboist Eve
Previous Home Next
Oboist3 Eve and her husband Adam (who both play oboe) want their little daughter Jane to grow up as a great musician. They bring her to rehearsals and believe that by listening to music Jane will develop absolute pitch. Jane plays her rattles and other musical toys, which distracts musicians while they are busy preparing for a concert. Donald the organ player has also started to bring his six-year-old son, a little drummer named Mark, because his wife departed to another town. David (the conductor) decides to pay Patrick (the one with a music box) to take care in his free time of Jane and Mark while their parents are rehearsing. To entertain the children, Patrick takes them for a drive, but Mark’s drumming on the back seat keeps waking little Jane.Mark's parents want him to become a skillful drummer.  

LIMERICK

by Jenny Gelwick

As I stand fiercely playing my oboe,
in my brightly dyed silk kimono,
I hear myself playing the accompaniment line,
to a tune called 'I Got You Babe' for a time,
and I'm picturing old Sunny Bono.
