THE DABBLING DUCK was commissioned by Roger Wiesmeyer, English hornist with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. It was written in April of 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic. A rhapsody or whimsical piece was initially discussed, but a week later, what burst out was a piece of rollicking fun. When Markovich approached Wiesmeyer with the change, his response was: "The world could use that right about now!" The world premiere was April 13, 2021 on the Arkansas Symphony (ASO) River Rhapsodies Series V.
Suitable for high school, college, regional, or professional chamber duo
"I have two things on my stand--The Dabbling Duck and the Sibelius swan." Roger Wiesmeyer, principal English horn, Nashville Symphony
"I love this piece! Judith Markovich is a great composer. I didn't feel like I was listening to a duet, but a full chamber ensemble, if you know what I mean." Lorraine Kitts, ASO oboe
"The end made me laugh out loud!" Susan Leon, ASO principal bassoon
