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’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

Songs without Words (SP1306) available from Spartan Press

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!

Gerty Goat Scuffer (SP1202) available from Spartan Press

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. In my youth as a composition student at the RAM, I discovered that walking a dog for an hour a day is the anti-dote to the long hours required as a composer, ‘sat you yer bum’ writing at a desk, and (in those pre-computer years) writing endless parts out by hand. First of these ‘best friends’ was a glorious Gordon Setter called ‘Sophie’, (my first love), who accompanied Pat and I on our honeymoon across Scotland. Thirty years later, we were privileged to enjoy the company of three therapeutic beasts; ‘Merlin’ (a prize winning Pyrenean Mountain Dog), ‘Gael’ (an over energetic Scottish Border Collie) and ‘Hetty’ (a unique cross between a Pyrenean Mountain Dog and a St. Bernard – something of a ‘kennel-maid’s Accident’). Hetty (see picture) is unfortunately no longer with us now. She had an extraordinary puppy-hood that left her with titanium plates holding her back legs together. Hetty was surprisingly active though, right through to the age of nearly 10 – speciality: chasing Pheasants in the grounds at Strathmashie – but she became progressively hampered by arthritis, and ‘scuffed along’ on her vast hairy pads with a swagger. She also used to remind our children of a mountain goat. Songs have been written about her, but this is the first instrumental work that she has inspired! 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’.

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

Good Times Past (SP1300) available from Spartan Press

What Do You Dream About? (SP1307) available from Spartan Press

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
