Night Windows (Oboe/Piano)

Walking down a darkened street it’s hard to resist looking in through lighted windows and catching a glimpse of other people’s lives. The imagination lingers…

Night Windows is the title of a painting by Edward Hopper of ascene in one such lighted window. However the scenes in this work though reflecting something of the loneliness in so many of the Hopper paintings are all imaginary: highly charged emotional moments.

Loneliness: Anger:Nostalgia: Despair: Frenzy
