Chamber Music

Dubugnon draws on a variety of sources, showing technical expertise in works such as his Canonic Verses for oboe, oboe d’amore and cor anglais, which explores various canonic possibilities. His Frenglish Suite for wind quintet mingles influences from various English and French composers. The Trois Évocations finlandaises for solo double bass recalls memories of a journey to Finland.
