THE PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY

oboe d'amore and piano (about 9 minutes)

The Persistence of Memory for oboe d'amore and piano was inspired by Salvador Dali's painting of the same name. I first encountered Dali's work as an undergraduate student, when I have a music theory teacher that often wore a tie with a portion of this painting. This Dali painting features melting clocks, Catalonia's Cap de Creus peninsula meeting the Mediterranean Sea, and several ants, which were the features I strove to represent in the music. The Persistence of Memory was commissioned by oboist Keith Sorrels, and premiered by Sorrels and pianist Eunbyol Ko.

Score will be available for purchase shortly. Please email me at paul@paulosterfield.com, and I will let you know when it is available.
