Oehring, Helmut: Philipp

One of the most popular solo pieces by Oehring: Following the original version for trombone and versions for flute, trumpet, oboe, bass clarinet, sub-bass flute and double-bass clarinet, Philipp is now available in a version for electric guitar (with performance CD ad libitum) as well. The composition was inspired by the impression as to how an idiom gradually develops out of noise, children's babbling and singing. In analogy, the soloist explores the abilities and possibilities of his instrument and fans out a sound structure made up of individual, sometimes novel colours and figures, thus developing an unheard-of superficial and uniquely flexible grammar.
