Program Notes
Gabriel’s Oboe was written by Morricone as the main theme of the 1986 motion picture The Mission. Directed by Roland Joffe, the film is set in the imperial era of Spain and Portugal. The story is about a Jesuit missionary who builds a mission in the South American wilderness in hopes of converting the natives there to Christianity. The Mission was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Score, and won the Golden Globe for Best Original Score.
In the film, the theme is featured prominently when the main character, Father Gabriel, performs on a baroque oboe near an Indian tribe, hoping to befriend them. The natives, transfixed by the sound of the foreign instrument, allow Father Gabriel into the camp.
