Dedication
Program Notes
When the possibility of a commission for the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra's Mozart Festival materialized in early 1990, I was asked by my predecessor at LACO, Stephen Hartke, which of Mozart's chamber works I would be interested in addressing in some way in my own work. I immediately thought of Mozart's Oboe Quartet and of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra's extraordinary principal oboist, Allan Vogel. From the outset, Allan's input as a musician influenced the composition of the piece. Before I had written a note, I attended a rehearsal of the Mozart Oboe Quartet involving Allan and a trio of distinguished string players. Hearing the piece take shape and hearing the varied aspects of Allan's playing were truly inspiring, and were the springboards for Celestial Mechanics. Though you probably will not hear much of Mozart in a direct way, the spirit of the Oboe Quartet - and particularly of its slow movement - pervades the work. Celestial Mechanics is in two large movements, and is dedicated to Allan Vogel. It was completed in September, 1990. --Donald Crockett
