The Lyrics
What is that sound
That I hear ringing?
Over the orchestra it is singing.
Oboe - a lovely tone
Oboe - the sound alone
Can thrill me to the bone.
Always cuts through,
Does it with sweetness.
That little thing is pure music neatness.
Oboe - the woodwind queen.
Oboe - it's so serene.
You can't make it sound mean!
Sets the pitch for orchestra tuning,
Soloing it sets me swooning.
It can cover any composer's needs
And the good players can make their own reeds!
It's made of wood.
It's swelling or parching
If you take it outside for marching!
Oboe - keep it inside!
Oboe - it will get fried!
Treat it like it 's your bride.
(Rocking solo using clever snippets from Polovetsian Dances, Scherazade, Grand Canyon Suite...and I've Got You Babe. )
All of the styles
Oboe can mix it
If it ain't baroque then don't fix it!
Oboe - good classic style
Oboe - Romantic? Wow!
In Bach it walks the walk.
Who's the best player?
This is a killer.
One of the finest players is Mitch Miller!
(Music stops suddenly for spoken part)
I'm not kidding. Perhaps the greatest oboe virtuoso of the twentieth century was Mitch Miller. THE Mitch Miller. "Sing along with Mitch" Miller! You may have your own favorite, but try rhyming anything with Heinz Hollinger.
(The music resumes)
Oboe - lots of great players
Oboe - all sit first chairs
Top man! A fan I am.
Lovely as the beach on Aruba -
Can't get sounds like that on a tuba.
Tone colors that are haunting and mellow -
Try to get that sound out of a cello!
It's versatile,
On that you can bet!
Just listen to a great woodwind quartet.
Oboe - Why's a french horn there?
Oboe - Well, I don't care!
Oboe's the show I know!
