Blue Set No. 2
Peter Schickle
OK, here it is, the definitive work for 4 bassoons by the creator of PDQ Bach and other interesting music. There are 3 sections, Bassooner or Later, Portlandia in Cerulean, and Gang of Wolves.
The package includes conductor's score (which means it's the whole piece, printed very small) and separate parts for each instrumentalist. Take this with you to your next bassoon club meeting or festival!
This from the liner notes by the composer: "It's not every composer who gets a commission to write a set of blues for four bassoonists, but, hey, that's the kind of charmed life I lead . . . Bassooner or Later is a hard driving bop tune, the opening and closing statements of which surround a series of choruses featuring web-like chordal textures . . . I really really ought to drop a reference to the composer of the most-often played concerto in the bassoon repertoire; this feeling led to the final number, Gang of Wolves. . .
