Bach for Blonde and Bassoons
Bassoon Quartet and Voice(s)

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, 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

Fugue For Ever!
Piano Duet

Bach, arr: Goddard

Bach’s glorious six part fugue from The Musical Offering made accessible in easy piano duet form by Mark Goddard. In 1747, Bach visited Frederick the Great of Prussia, and was invited by the King to improvise on a theme. On returning to Leipzig, Bach wrote out and revised his improvisations, dedicating the finished product to the King. 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

Easy Bizet Piano Duets
Piano Duet

Bizet, arr: Goddard

The three best tunes from Carmen including ‘Toreador’s Song’. Bizet’s famous opera ‘Carmen’ was controversial when it was first performed in Paris in 1875. It is a tale of lawlessness, murder and immorality. The naive soldier Don José is seduced by the fiery gypsy Carmen, and deserts from the army, only to see Carmen desert him for the glamorous toreador Escamillo. Bizet died suddenly soon after the first ‘luke warm’ run of performances. Little did he know it would become acclaimed world wide for the next 130 years! The optional companion CD allows for each movement to be practised separately, (and slowly) before putting the whole thing together – ideally in the company of another human!    Completed: 15th October, 2012

Gerty Goat Scuffer
Double Bass and Piano

Written for David Heyes as part of his ‘Fizz at 50’ project. ‘Gerty Goat Scuffer’ (in case you wondered) is one of many nick-names we had for a much loved family dog – officially named ‘Heavy Hetty’ from a character in an imaginative children’s book of that name. The pervading thematic motive of the piece (heard from the outset), cheekily alludes to an (over) famous Saint-Saëns work for double bass (but no insult is intended to Hetty!). The increasingly roving tonality and unusually sudden shifts of key, combined with the use of jazz chords, combines to present a short but heartfelt tribute to a unique animal that provided untold pleasure to all she came into contact with, simply by just being ‘herself’.    Completed: 4th December, 2012

Good Times Past
Piano Solo

‘Good Times Past’ comprises a series of nine short and contrasting piano pieces, in a light, yet essentially modern idiom. Glancing affectionately back in time, to an era of traditional pastimes and board games, these pieces where published on the occasion of Spartan’s 25th birthday, and are musically related to a set of flute duets written in 1982, which became ‘Tricks and Games’ – Spartan’s first published book. Nine easy pieces, including:- Chinese Chequers, Draughts, Cowboys, American Indians, Ragtime etc. – each presents a different challenge, yet with the emphasis on fun. Ragtime was selected to be published in Pianist Magazine, March 2015.    Completed: 5th December, 2014

Birthday Presents – 9 Musical Portraits for Piano
Piano Solo

To coin a phrase: this book contains ‘something for everyone’. Each of these nine ‘musical gifts’ portrays a different personality, from the itinerate gossiper, to the ‘dreamy type’, the belligerent ‘war monger’, all the way through to the ‘joker’ at the end. If you are giving this book as a birthday present, perhaps the beneficiary should be asked to suggest which of the personalities they feel best suits their countenance, and then compare notes with the giver! These pieces were published on the occasion of Spartan’s 25th birthday.    Completed: 1st March, 2015

Songs without Words
Trumpet and Piano

Songs Without Words is a set of three short pieces, each inspired by a classic twentieth century poem. There is an underlying theme of ‘School’. 1. School Bell The music urgently moves forward within an anxiously breathless waltz lest we be late for school. Originally inspired by Eleanor Farjeon’s famous poem ‘Nine O’clock Bell’ where pupils hustle and bustle to school in the morning: Some of them scurrying, others not worrying, Carelessly trudging or anxiously hurrying. 2. A Blitz of a Boy With an affectionate nod to Charles Causley’s sad tale about ‘Timothy Winters’ who ‘hasn’t heard of the welfare state’. He sleeps on a sack on the kitchen floor, and they say there aren’t boys like him anymore. Although the music is laden with pathos, there is insuppressible energy too, portraying that lovable ‘Blitz of a Boy’! 3. A Lesson You’ll Never Forget! Roger McGough’s black poem ‘The Lesson’ was the catalyst for this piece. The teacher (and later even the headmaster) set upon a notoriously rowdy class with various lethal weapons, systematically murdering all the pupils! He picked on a boy who was shouting and throttled him then and there, then garrotted the girl behind him (the one with grotty hair). The baroque style recitative passages represent the school ‘establishment’, and are contrasted ludicrously with savage harmonic ‘stabs’ and terrifyingly anxious ‘chase scenes’ around the class room; this poem is not for the squeamish!    Completed: 11th May, 2015

Due to be republished by Clifton Edition in 2026 as ‘Bell, Blitz and Blackboards’.

What Do You Dream About?
Piano Solo

Duration: 10 minutes.  These light hearted Surreal Reveries were composed as part of Spartan’s 25th anniversary year celebrations and there’s quite a story attached to them: The Spartan Press team organised a ‘brainstorming’ session (as they often do) to help with deciding on definitive titles for each of the pieces, but we generated so many good ideas that we simply couldn’t decide what to do: so we invite you, the pianist, to provide your own titles! The full results of our production meeting were entertaining and illuminating, and so we’ve reproduced them for your entertainment on page 15. In the score, we have at least gone as far as associating each movement with an appropriate ’emoticon’, just for the fun of it. Grades c. 4 – 7.     Completed: 25th June, 2015

Cantus Firmus Fantasticus!
Flexible Wind Ensemble with Voice(s)

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’, and also, here, arranged for flexible ensemble , 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

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.
