Jenni Brandon: Going to the Sun Snapshots from Glacier National Park
Oboe and Bassoon Duet - Individual parts plus score included. This piece explores the beauty of Glacier National Park in Montana. It was commissioned by Jennifer Gookin Cavanaugh with the support of a grant from the Provost's Office at the University of Montana and Elizabeth Ball Crawford with the support of the Great Falls Symphony Orchestra. It was premiered at the IDRS Society conference in Columbus, Georgia in 2016. The work is in one movement broken into several sections. The oboe and bassoon are great story telling instruments lending their voices and character to each of these sections painting the landscape with texture, range and song. While the vastness and beauty is too big to capture in any work of music, it is the composer's hope that the listener can travel this road with us through this natural wonder and remember the importance of supporting our National Parks.

Jenni Brandon: In the City at Night for Solo English Horn
This piece was written at the request of Ryan Zwahlen. He was searching for new literature for the English Horn and wanted to increase the repertoire by requesting composers to write new pieces to perform and record. Jenni wrote a piece that uses the lovely, lyrical range of the English Horn while at the same time composing something that was also rhythmically fun to play. It is at times playful and fast like many lights blinking on just after dusk in the city. At other times, it is quiet and serene like the city streets that are empty in the early hours before dawn. The listener will be left with thoughts and impressions of a city after dark with the lone voice of the English Horn telling the story of a night adventure on the city streets. This work is the winner of the 2014 Women Composers Festival of Hartford International Composition Competition.

Jenni Brandon: The Sequoia Trio For Oboe, Clarinet and Bassoon
The composer writes
The composer writes
I had returned from a trip to Sequoia National Park in July of 2008 and was inspired by the great trees. I knew that these would be the basis for the new work, and in searching for a voice of these great trees I turned to the words of John Muir for inspiration.
Each movement of The Sequoia Trio (oboe, clarinet, bassoon sheet music) takes a quote about Sequoia trees from John Muir's book The Yosemite and uses it to inspire the music. The opening waving pattern creates the gentle breeze as the growth of the tree starts in the bassoon, moving through the clarinet and is carried all the way to the top of the tree through the oboe. Movement two is sassy and jazzy, describing the kind of resilient attitude that young trees must maintain in order to survive. "The Three Graces" plays on the idea of the three instruments in the ensemble and Muir's own reference to Greek mythology. Finally in "The Noble Trees" the instruments play a hymn-like tribute to the largest living things on earth. The two "Tree Interludes" represent the individual voice of a tree and its story.
This piece was written during my composer residency with the Vientos Trio during 2008-2009.

Jenni Brandon: Three Desert Fables for Solo Oboe
Three Desert Fables tells the stories of the unique relationships found within the desert environments of Joshua Tree National Park. These symbiotic relationships found in the desert are critical for the survival of these creatures and plants, and Jenni thought these would make great stories to tell through the lyrical voice of the oboe.

The Wilflower Trio was commissioned in 2004 by the College of Fine Arts of the University of Texas at Austin to honor and celebrate the life and environmental work of Lady Bird Johnson.

Her book, The Wildflower, was inspired by the opening of Lady Bird's Wildflower Research Center in Austin, Texas and contains a collection of poems about wildflowers and nature.

Jenni Brandon: Wood Song for Solo Oboe
Composed in 2019, this piece has been selected as repertoire for the preliminary round of the 2022 IDRS Norma Hooks Young Artist Competition.
It is inspired by the Sara Teasdale (1884-1933) poem of the same name. Jenni was particularly drawn to this poem for both the reference to the wood thrush bird as well as the poet's honesty of kissing life "scars and all". The colors of the oboe lend themselves to creating this bird's ethereal and mysterious sounds, and of telling the journey of a soul through poem and music.
