Bach, arr: Mark Goddard
Duration: 4 minutes. 1st Performance: Headington Singers Concert 1985. The opening Chorus from Bach’s Cantata No. 10: ‘Meine Seel erhebt den Herren’. This arrangement requires four bassoons and either a soprano/mezzo, or a choir singing in unison (upper voices only). In 1989, in Oxford, a group of four bassoonist friends decided to form ‘The Equal Opportunities Bassoon Quartet’, and met regularly to rehearse. The wife of one of the players, Katherine Manville, often generously prepared a sumptuous meal for the quartet and this piece was written so that Katherine, a fine singer, could join in too! The piece was later performed by the fledgling ‘Headington Singers’ singing the vocal part in unison, accompanied ‘on the night’ by the bassoons. The piece has since also been arranged for flexible ensemble (SP1382), therefore widening its appeal. This set comprises a full score, a set of bassoon parts and a single sided part for the singer. The latter is also freely downloadable from the website to allow easy (and legal) duplication for the purposes of a choir as required. Completed: 15th July, 1985

Piano Solo
About Time — Six Piano Preludes
Available from EVC Publications
Mark Goddard
Whilst each of the preludes in this suite is distinct in character, they all share the composer’s trademark use of contrasting time signatures, pulsating rhythms and dramatic energy. These pieces (Grades 6-8 ABRSM levels), with their Latin names harking back to a different age, provide the more advanced pianist with a musically challenging and rewarding depiction of different attitudes towards time.
Tempus Fugit (Time Flies) and Momentum are both influenced by jazz and have lively Eastern European folk dance rhythms. Momento Temporis (A Moment in Time) is tranquil and modal, with sonorous pedalling, whilst the harmonies in Perpetuum Mobile often employ familiar diatonic language and use chords based on the intervals of the second and fourth. Tempus Rerum Imperator (Time, Commander of All Things) is a spiky, urgent and chromatic evocation of time running away with us while the final prelude, Ab Aeterno, (From Time Immemorial) is a dark evocation of eternity, with just one chord deployed in a series of mathematical progressions, using rhythmical diminution and augmentation to outline a journey.

Bach, arr: Goddard
Bach’s glorious six part fugue from The Musical Offering made accessible in easy piano duet form by Mark Goddard.

Musikalisches Opfer contains ten canons, two keyboard fugues and a trio sonata in four movements for flute, violin and continuo. The subject of this piano duet arrangement is the six part fugue which in it’s original form requires an organist with a technique as adroit as Bach’s! Mark Goddard has successfully maintained the spirit of the original but ‘unlocked’ the technical demands of the keyboard writing. Completed: 17th February, 1997

Cantus Firmus Fantasticus! (SP1382) available from Spartan Press
Bach, arr: Goddard
The opening Chorus from Bach’s Cantata ? 10: ‘Meine Seel erhebt den Herren’. This arrangement requires four instrumentals and either a soprano/mezzo, or a choir singing in unison (upper voices only) or simply a fifth instrumentalist to play the simple ‘Chorale’ theme. In 1989, in Oxford, a group of four bassoonist friends decided to form ‘The Equal Opportunities Bassoon Quartet’, and met regularly to rehearse. The wife of one of the players, Katherine Manville, often generously prepared a sumptuous meal for the quartet and this piece was written so that Katherine, a fine singer, could join in too! The piece was later performed by the fledgling ‘Headington Singers’ singing the vocal part in unison, accompanied ‘on the night’ by the bassoons. The piece has since been published as ‘Bach for Blonde and Bassoons’ (SP112), and also, here, arranged for flexible ensemble (SP1382), therefore widening its appeal. This set comprises a full score, a set of various instrumental parts and a single sided part for the singer or further instrumentalist. The latter is also freely downloadable from the website to allow easy (and legal) duplication for the purposes of a choir as required. Scoring: Part-1:fl,cl/ss Part-2:fl/ob,cl,as Part-3:cl,as,ts Part-4:bn,ts/bc,bs. Completed: 14th September, 2017
