A New Work by Jenni Brandon – Places We Are From
Places We Are From, a new work by Jenni Brandon, explores the idea of identity and where we come from both geographically, physically, and spiritually. This unique exploration is reflected in the make-up of the 3 different instrumentation options for this work, using these combinations to tell stories of joy, hope, frustration, and perseverance. The colors and combinations in each version reflect a vision of discovering who we are in unprecedented times and finding happiness in the journey.
This work will be available in three versions:
Oboe, Bassoon, Piano
Oboe, Saxophone, Piano
Saxophone, Bassoon, Piano
Commissioned by the Post-Haste Reed Duo (Sean Fredenburg– saxophone and Javier Rodriguez, bassoon) and the Proud Duo (Dora Proud – oboe, Joseph Proud – saxophone)
Places We Are From received its first world premiere during the International Double Reed Society Conference 2nd Virtual Symposium – July 26-31, 2021. This work is the recipient of the IDRS “50 for 50” commissioning grant in celebration of the organization’s 50th anniversary.
