Trio per Due Oboi e Corno Inglese 

The Trio for two Oboes and English Horn is a new version of an older composition with the title Musica per Due Oboi e Corno Inglese, composed for the oboist Henk Hoekema.. The composer decided to create a new version out of above-mentioned work. The version became a friendly divertissement for the three reed instruments, with stressed expressive melodic lines in a contrapuntical web without passages of accompaniment.

Each player has his own individual part equal to the two others.

The Tarantella has a lighter and more virtuoso mood and the Ciacona is expressive with the rhythm, meter and tempo of the traditional dance form.

The composer prefers the French way of oboe playing, a light bright tone with elegiac expression, for chamber music especially.

Hendrik de Regt was born July 5, 1950 Rotterdam - The Netherlands – studied piano and organ in his native town and composition with Otto Ketting, from 1968 till 1972 and from his father Piet Ketting during 1975 till 1984. Right from the beginning it was clear that melodic and polyphonic elements were to occupy a predominant position in his compositions. 

From the outset, de Regt's compositions have stressed melodic and polyphonic lines, though he has placed them in harmonic context.

He is drawn to the musical tradition and likes to link early musical elements with modern ones to create a stylistic synthesis.

For de Regt's, the most important target of a composition is the satisfaction of the performer and listener derive from hearing the piece.

Composer, performer and listener are always connected with each other like a triad, therefore a composition have to be understandable for the three parts.

De Regt writes and wrote a variety of vocal and instrumental chamber music.

In addition to this Egge-Verlag production, his music is available through Dorn Publications and PRB Productions (U.S.), Donemus-Amsterdam, and DMP - Belgium.
