IV. D.M.A Research Project. BRIDGING IDENTITIES: SOLO OBOE AND CHAMBER WORKS BY MEXICAN COMPOSERS, (2023). The purpose of this project was to make known various oboe solo and chamber works by Mexican composers and to establish the beginnings of a communications network between oboists and these same composers. For each of the ten pieces in the dissertation a performance analysis was conducted and a playing level assigned. Composers were introduced via biographies and transcribed interviews. The following questions were addressed in this project. How many pieces for the oboe by Mexican composers exist? Is there a resource to search for these compositions other than a blind internet search? How do I obtain the music for these pieces? What oboe techniques are needed to perform these pieces? As the project was conducted and pieces compiled, other than two albums dedicated to oboe works by Mexican composers, Carmen Thierry’s Oboemia: Música Mexicana para Oboe Solo and Jonathan Thompsons’ Tollan: Mexican Works for the Oboe, three other resources found were found. Two of these are student theses which also focused on oboe works by Mexican composers, Alejandra Odgers’ La Música de Cámara Para Oboe Escrita En La Segunda Mitad Del Siglo XX, and Mireya Pérez Fernández’s Música Mexicana Inédita Para Oboe. Grabación Digital, Comentarios Analíticos Y Partituras. The third resource is a catalog of Mexican oboe works, Catalog of Mexican Oboe Music, compiled by oboist Jonathan Thompson. However, since the theses were discovered in the middle of the project and the catalog was only acquired towards the end of the project, all pieces included in the dissertation were found in two albums mentioned above or via individual internet searches. Music was obtained mostly by contacting the composers directly; only five out of ten pieces were procured in separate publishing websites. There are a variety of extended oboe techniques needed for these pieces as well. These include glissandi, pitch bending, quarter tones and micro tones, flutter tonguing, multiphonics, tremolos, and double tonguing.
