The Lock Keeper

A prelude to the finale of In the Wake of Neil Gunn, for oboe and string quartet. It taps out the rhythm of S.O.S. in Morse code, sparsely at first over the sound of the sea, before the oboe and strings take it up as a waltz.

Full score (£2.99): full score for oboe and string quartet (3 pages).
