LABYRINTH Trio for FL/OB/CL Bb

LABYRINTH Trio for Flute, Oboe and Clarinet in Bb - Composition by Everardo García

The piece “Labyrinth” tells a fascinating and moving story through three characters represented by the flute, the oboe, and the clarinet. In a fantasy world called Earth, there were three instruments that, from their earliest days, learned to play their first notes and experiment with their own sounds. They radiated happiness with every melody, loved visiting other instruments to harmonize and learn from them, creating endless experiences and lessons through their musical interactions.

However, one day, they lost their way and their musical essence, as if a new type of sound had invaded them and they could no longer recognize it. Plunged into confusion and doubt about their own existence, one bright afternoon, they heard the legend of an old instrument. It told of a portal in the high mountains full of boulders and hidden caves, a magical cave leading to other worlds and dimensions.

The three instruments, fascinated by the legend, decided to embark on a journey to the high mountains. The labyrinthine path presented challenges, and only a few managed to find the right path. With faith and determination, they vowed not to give up until they recovered their musical essence. On their journey, they encountered beings and figures who offered them tempting sounds and beautiful instruments in exchange for abandoning their search, but they never succumbed to temptation and continued, certain of reaching their goal.

One night, they spotted a flickering light among the boulders next to a river that ran through the mountain. As they approached, the light grew brighter and more intense. Finally, they reached the foot of a rock and discovered the magical cave, with a door illuminated by red lights inscribed with their names and a warm welcome. The light they had seen came from the depths of the river, illuminating a bridge that connected to the cave’s portal.
