sultry love number in the Phrygian mode, with oboe d'amore, pedal steel, and vibes

You know, you really don't get enough oboe d'amore these days. Lovely to hear my favourite instrument in something other than Bach.

This is such a striking song. I love it.
I'd also like to apologise that I think the words 'Oboe d'amore' are too funny not to comment on.

Oboe d'amore is a gorgeous instrument *and* a funny name to boot (which I'm pretty sure comes from its Moorish roots and not from its love powers.)
Robbie Hunsinger played the d'amore on this track and she tells me she bought the instrument to play Bach. You can hear her do just that on broadcasts of Chicago Symphony Orchestra's "Christmas Oratorio."
Thanks for all the great response!
