Hear an excerpt from .Just the Bassoon" (Mp3)
Just the Bassoon on its own.
A lyrical piece exploring the range and texture of the solo instrument.
Think of it like a monologue.
No accompaniment to hide behind, so every reed noise, key click, and breath becomes part of the music.
The piece treats the bassoon as a singer with an unusually wide, earthy voice — from growling basement tones to a vulnerable, almost oboe-like top.
