About the Piece
Ping Pong is a 5-minute, up-tempo, rhythmic duet for oboe and bassoon. The two performers will interact in a dynamic, surprising, conversational manner to bring a game of one-on-one ping pong to life. The music will illustrate the tapping paddles and bouncing balls of the game, including various stroke maneuvers such as offensive hits, loops, flips, and smashes, defensive chops, blocks and lobs, and the quality of the ball movement such as backspin, topspin and corkspin. Ping Pong will primarily use standard techniques with a handful of creative extended techniques including: double trills and singing and playing (oboe) and multiphonics and bisbigliando (both). This piece serves to broaden the repertoire of quality, imaginative oboe and bassoon duets by women and to introduce performers and audiences to extended techniques in an engaging and approachable way.
