Eyes Completely Open/ David Bowie ( transcription no 3) 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. Listen in and you will hear it.
