After decades as a renowned oboe virtuoso, Katherine Needleman was improvising at the piano during the quarantine summer of 2020 when her ideas congealed in a powerful way. Within a week she completed a 16-minute oboe sonata inspired by the world’s overlapping crises. This riveting three-movement sonata bears the title qua resurget ex favilla, drawn from the Dies Irae text referring to rising back from ashes. Needleman won the International Double Reed Society’s Inaugural Commissioning Competition by entering her own recording of this work, performing as both oboist and pianist from her living room. As a result, IDRS commissioned her to compose a new work for English horn and piano which was premiered at their 2021 Virtual Symposium and programmed for the live 2022 convention.
I’m not exactly sure how, in a life consumed by music, I never put anything on paper between the time I stopped at age 10 and the age of 42. I mean, I have some ideas why, but that could easily dissolve into a feminist manifesto or a condemnation of my musical education and the overwhelming culture of American oboe playing, the vehicle through which I’ve made a living my entire adult life. Rather than go there, I will just say this is the first piece I put on paper in my adult life.Six months into COVID-19 lockdown in the US, the world was feeling pretty weird. I had familiarized myself with the music notation program, Sibelius, for recent arranging projects. I had written some mockeries of A.M.R. Barret oboe etudes in response to an assignment I was given (and did appropriately first). When I descended into a dark chorale in the middle of the fourth mockery, I realized I needed a new vehicle. I wrote a short, ridiculous piece for my husband’s birthday, and then, the next night, when improvising at the piano, like I’ve done since I was seven years old, this piece came to me. However, this time, I sketched it out into Sibelius. Over the course of the next week, I found notating and picking permanent, official notes to enter into the computer challenging. But it was all done on paper in seven days, and I took another few for dynamics and articulations thinking they might be useful for someone else, if I would ever be lucky enough for someone else to play it.I don’t have much to say about the music of qua resurget ex favilla itself. It’s a personal statement couched in the feelings of that time. The US presidential election was looming large and ugly in my mind, well, that and the end of life as we knew it, but I also had some bizarre feeling that everything would be okay.

Libro de glosas is based on the Trattado de glosas by Diego Ortiz (1510 - ca. 1570). The intertextuality between different materials and musical techniques and processes of the 16th century was one of my main interests when I wrote this piece for the wonderful sound and quality of the Calefax ensemble.The intertextual relationships are as follows:Recercada I is based on the first chords of the chanson Doulce memoire by Pierre Sandrin. It is also used in Trattado de glosas.Recercada II is based on the incipit of the madrigal O felici occhi miei by Jacques Arcadelt. It is also used in Trattado de glosas.Recercada III is based on the ostinato Passamezzo antico. It is also used in Trattado de glosas.Recercada IV is freely based on the tenor La Spagna. It is also used in Trattado de glosas.Batalla (V) is a free composition in form of a battaglia and is based on some ostinati of Spanish origin as well as on an anonymous theme from the 16th century. There are also some bars of a batalla by Joseph Ximenez (18th century).Libro de glosas esta basada en el Trattado de glosas de Diego Ortiz (1510 - ca. 1570).
