Don Werdick

Welcome. The Chamber Ensemble of Minnesota, Inc. publishes full score and parts for oboe, oboe d'amore and English horn Baroque period chamber music arranged/edited by Don Werdick. The original Baroque scores and solo parts contain little (if any) information about elements like articulation, ornamentation or dynamics, so the soloists and ensemble players needed to make their own informed choices before each performance. The oboe, oboe d'amore and English horn solo arrangements by Don Werdick offers dynamics, articulations, ornamentation and nuances of tone color as to how to effectively present the composition and can help the performer to build on this to effectively communicate the sense of the music.
