ARNOLD: FANTASY FOR OBOE

Malcolm Arnold: Fantasy for Oboe
From the Faber Edition Series

Malcolm Arnold’s Fantasy for Oboe is a compelling and expressive solo work, composed in 1966 for the Birmingham International Wind Competition. Commissioned by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, this unaccompanied piece explores a wide emotional and technical range, from lyrical introspection to bold, virtuosic passages.

A showcase of Arnold’s distinctive musical voice—combining wit, drama, and melodic invention—the Fantasy has become a favorite among advanced oboists for both competition and recital performance.
