The work was commissioned by the Britten Sinfonia and firstperformed by them with soloist Nicholas Daniel on 6th November 2006 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall London. This is the Solo Oboe part. In the composer's note Tavener explains his high regard forMozart and how in Kaleidoscopes he attempts to take Mozart's music and meditate upon it in four main cycles. He states that all the music has its source in Mozart whether it be rhythmic harmonic orcontrapuntal.
