Eyes Completely Open/ David Bowie transcription for solo oboe, was originally written for oboist Catherine Pluygers. This recording is by Oboist Jennifer Porcas.The. words ‘eyes completely open’ come from the song Absolute Beginners by David Bowie, which song haunted me during the construction of this piece and I heard the words ‘eyes completely pen’ the exact same notes were played by the oboe. The recording by Oboist Jennifer Porcas is available from my bandcamp and a written score is available . Please email me.

Thanks to oboists Catherine Pluygers and Jennifer Porcas.
