Prairie Oboe Companion: Get your composer straight.
http://jilloboe.blogspot.com/2011/07/get-your-composer-straight.html
Saturday, July 02, 2011. Get your composer straight. More from the world of "no book editor that knows anything about music":. From Chloe Neill's "Some Girls Bite". To be thankful for the things that reminded me that I was a small clog in a very big wheel: the lake on a moodily cloudy day; the gracious divinity of Elgar's "The Lark Ascending". Well, those Brits, theyre all the same. Right? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. It's All About Me. Team Camwell (our family blog).

Prairie Oboe Companion: Back on the wagon
http://jilloboe.blogspot.com/2010/09/back-on-wagon.html
Friday, September 10, 2010. Back on the wagon. In the past week, I've practiced three, count 'em, three times. To me, this is a huge accomplishment. In college, I really wouldn't be bragging about three times.I may even have been reprimanded in my lesson! Rehearsals for Orchestra Iowa start up again on Monday, and tonight, after three sessions back on English horn, I finally left not feeling like my face was going to fall off. Now, can I make it through the Planets? Two more days to get my chops up.

Tuesday, November 23, 2010. How do you spell ppppllllllll. Or a raspberry sound with your lips, the only sound possible after 6 hours of rehearsing?

Prairie Oboe Companion: Stars in my eyes
http://jilloboe.blogspot.com/2012/11/stars-in-my-eyes.html
Sunday, November 04, 2012. Stars in my eyes. I got up the courage to go talk to Harry during the break in our afternoon rehearsal. My internal monologue: Mr. Connick? What do I call him? Me: Hello, Harry? Harry: Hi, thank you! Me: I'm Jillian; I'm the English horn player. Harry: Nice to meet you. (He shakes my hand.). Me: My son's name is Harry, too. No relation. Hardy-har-har. You are such a dork, Jillian. Harry: Gives a gracious smile. Me: It was my grandfather's name. Harry is a very fine name. During...

Prairie Oboe Companion: Random Thoughts from the Pit
http://jilloboe.blogspot.com/2010/11/random-thoughts-from-pit.html
Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Random Thoughts from the Pit. 1) 6/4 is like 4/4 with 2 extra beats. (These words of wisdom from the conductor. I'm still waiting to step in a rest.). 2) It is cruel and unusual punishment to not only have to play "Bow" music at the end of a long show, but "Exit" music as well. 3) Why all the key changes? 4) My teeth hurt. 5) Is that blood I taste?

Prairie Oboe Companion: My faves
http://jilloboe.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-faves.html
Wednesday, April 06, 2011. Not an oboe post, but we're keeping Team Camwell family-related, so this is the best place for my thoughts on. Who still watches this with me? I picked my faves last year, and I was on the money with the final 2. We're down to 9 now, and my 4 favorites are still in it. They are:. Paul McDonald. My husband thinks he's creepy, but I completely disagree. I really dig him, and he's got the most unique voice of the competition. I'd buy his album. Pia Toscano. She's a power house!
