“It can conjure up any emotions you might associate with love be that melancholy, calm, content or even rustic happiness.”

OAE oboe Alexandra Bellamy introduces the oboe d’amore; the alto member of the oboe family.

Definition: ‘Obbligato’
Bach included many ‘obbligato’ arias in his works. The Italian word ‘obbligato’ means literally ‘obligatory’ or ‘fixed’. In Bach’s music, the instrumental solo in the aria was indispensable and practically equal to the voice part, shared much of its thematic material and usually began and ended the aria.
