Arrangements

Recently published by TrevCo Music Publishing, Natalie's arrangement of the Chaconne movement from Bach's Violin Partita No. 2 reimagines this violin masterpiece for solo oboe. It is this arranger’s belief that the Chaconne contains the entire spectrum of musical color and expression in itself, and it should absolutely be performed on that most expressive of instruments – the oboe.

Articles

Natalie maintains a presence in the academic field through publications on oboe repertoire. She believes that by exposing the oboe community to lesser-known compositions, these great works will find their way on the recital stage. Her articles can be found in The Double Reed, a quarterly journal presented by the International Double Reed Society.
