Bach for Blonde and Bassoons (SP112) Bassoon Quartet and Voice(s) available from Spartan Press
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

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.

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!

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
