Forsyth's Modern Wind Music is a series of volumes containing exciting and challenging, but not unduly difficult, works by talented English composers of current or recent vintage for recital, study or recreation. Each volume includes three works with piano, one unaccompanied piece, and one piece for two or more players of the instrument. In this volume for Oboe Anthony Gilbert's 'Sunrising' is an aubade inspired by a short and sublime poem by Sir Willian Davenant, and contrasts sharply with the skittish humour of Thomas Pitfield's 'Polka'. There are also two pieces by Margaret Lucy Wilkins - a poised 'Pirouette' for solo oboe, and its companion piece for four oboes - 'Pas de Quatre'. Richard Orton provides a contribution steeped in Greek mythology - the story of the shepherd 'Gyges' and his magical ring of invisibility.
