Our programme today traces an expressive journey from the elgance of the Baroque and Classical Masters to the warmth of Romantic melody and the modern rediscovery of the bassoon’s deep sonorous heart.

So we have a journey from Baroque brilliance to Romantic elegance, celebrating the eloquent voice of the bassoon and in two short pieces, its deeper cousin, the contrabassoon.

From the brightness of Vivaldi’s Venice to the twilight lyricism of Strauss, this programme celebrates the full expressive range of the double-reed family — a true dialogue into the deep.

Programme Title: Into the Deep – Double Reeds in Dialogue

Vivaldi, Antonio (1678–1741)

Concerto for Bassoon in E minor, RV 484 Spirited, sparkling Baroque brilliance, alternating fiery outer movements with a soulful slow movement. One of Vivaldi’s finest bassoon concertos, full of vitality and lyrical contrast.

Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus (1756–1791)

Bassoon Concerto in B-flat major, K. 191 Elegant and witty, full of graceful melodies and good-natured humour. The first truly great Classical concerto for the instrument, displaying Mozart’s balance between poise and playfulness.

Weber, Carl Maria von (1786–1826)

Andante e Rondo ungarese, Op. 35 A delightfully virtuosic showpiece with a charming Hungarian flair and a dashing finale. Weber brings the bassoon to the centre of the stage with brilliance and good humour.

Nigro, Susan (1951– )

Morceau pour le Basson and Little Tunes for the Bassoon Short, tuneful modern miniatures written for or premiered by the celebrated contrabassoonist Susan Nigro. Light-hearted, tonal, and engaging, they reveal the lyrical and whimsical sides of the great “double bassoon.”

Lipnick, Lewis & Miller, Tammy

Into the Deep An evocative work exploring the full range of the contrabassoon. Deeply sonorous yet surprisingly lyrical, it paints a picture of the instrument’s vast resonance and unexpected sensitivity.

Strauss, Richard (1864–1949)

Duet-Concertino for Clarinet and Bassoon, TrV 293 A late masterpiece blending grace, nostalgia, and gentle humour. The clarinet and bassoon converse like characters in a fairy tale, while the orchestra provides a shimmering, affectionate backdrop. Lyrical, warm, and utterly humane.

A concert celebrating the wit, warmth, and expressive voice of the bassoon — that most human of instruments, capable of both laughter and lyric song.

Few instruments have as much personality as the bassoon. With its long wooden body and curling metal crook, it looks slightly eccentric — and sounds gloriously human. The bassoon can laugh and sigh, sing tenderly or mutter in comic complaint. Its voice bridges the warmth of the cello and the wit of the oboe, making it both a storyteller and a clown, often in the same breath.

Composer Work Notes

Danzi, Franz (1763–1826) Bassoon Concerto in F major, Op. 4 Cheerful, Mozartean Classicism with graceful melodies and sparkling runs. The opening Allegro is bright and buoyant, the Andante lyrical and tender, and the Polacca finale dances with effortless elegance.

Winter, Peter von (1754–1825) Bassoon Concerto in C minor A work of late Classical poise tinged with Romantic feeling. The minor tonality adds drama, while the slow movement offers warmth and poise before a spirited finale. Refined, expressive, and unjustly neglected.

Elgar, Edward (1857–1934) Romance in D minor, Op. 62 A gentle English reverie – wistful, tender, and quietly noble. Elgar’s short piece treats the bassoon as a singer rather than a jester, full of lyrical phrasing and subtle harmonic colour.

Saint-Saëns, Camille (1835–1921) Sonata for Bassoon and Piano, Op. 168 – I. Allegro moderato Elegant and charming, with that unmistakable French lightness. Written late in life, Saint-Saëns distilled a lifetime of Classical grace into this poised, melodious movement.

Håkansson, Patrik (b. 20th c.) Konzertstück for Bassoon and Orchestra A lyrical and harmonically warm modern work that honours the bassoon’s expressive tradition. Engaging and noble in tone, it affirms the instrument’s rightful place as a true solo voice rather than the orchestra’s clown.

Welcome to today’s edition of “about Music” with Brian.

Last week we listened to the Oboe, a double reed instrument with a bright treble penetrating sound. It is the familiar voice of the family. There are two more family members.

The oboe d’amore, pitched lower in A, has a warmer, more intimate, pastoral sound — favoured by Baroque composers like Bach.

The cor anglaise or English Horn, pitched in F, is larger and darker, with a rich, melancholy tone often compared to an alto voice.

Together, they offer composers a remarkable range of expressive possibilities.

Today we will listen to the Cor Anglais, which is also known as the “English Horn”. I have five works for your enjoyment.

This programme moves beautifully from Classical grace (Bedetti, Donizetti) through Romantic lyricism (Sibelius) to expressive modernity (Stacy) and pastoral English orchestral writing (Vaughan Williams).

Composer (Surname, Forenames) Title Descriptor

Bedetti, Giuseppe Concerto for English Horn (F major) Classical elegance with clear lines and graceful phrasing — a stylish opening from this rarely heard 18th-century work.

Donizetti, Gaetano Concerto for Cor Anglais in G minor Tuneful bel canto writing and a warm Classical-Romantic blend make this concerto an ideal companion to Bedetti.

Sibelius, Jean The Swan of Tuonela, Op. 22 No. 3 The quintessential cor anglais solo — haunting, atmospheric, and deeply evocative.

Rochberg, George (Thomas Stacy) Perpetual Motion (from the Concerto for English Horn) A single movement excerpt showcasing the instrument’s agility and modern brilliance, while remaining accessible.

Vaughan Williams, Ralph A London Symphony, II. Lento A long, elegiac cor anglais solo at the heart of this movement crowns the programme with lyrical depth and English melancholy. Guiseppi Ferlendes English Horn Concerto in F Major Performed by Marino Bedetti with the orchestra G.

Welcome to “about Music“ with Brian.

In our exploration of the woodwind instruments of the orchestra, we have listened to members of the flute family, which are all played by blowing air across or into an opening, and members of the single reed family, which have a single reed that vibrates against a mouthpiece. These were the clarinet and the saxophone.

We come now to the double reed instruments, oboe, cor anglaise, and bassoon. Double reed instruments feature reeds with two pieces of cane that vibrate against each other when a musician blows against them.

Today we begin with the oboe, which has a bright penetrating sound, and is the instrument to which the rest of the orchestra must tune their instruments.

The oboe is a very old instrument, whose roots go back to ancient reed instruments like those of Egypt and Mesopotamia, as well as the Greek aulos and Roman tibia.

For our listening pleasure I have four concertos today.

Please remember to listen for the standard concerto features with each concerto:

A lively opening movement, usually lead by the orchestra, a slow and lyrical second movement, and a third movement called a Rondo which features a recurring theme. Any or all of the movements may have solo passages, called cadenzas where the soloist may show their ability.

The Saxophone in the Concert Hall

The saxophone is one of the youngest members of the woodwind family. Invented in the 1840s by the Belgian instrument maker Adolphe Sax, it combines the single reed mouthpiece of the clarinet with the brass body of a trumpet. This hybrid design gives the saxophone its unique timbre — bright yet mellow, capable of both singing warmth and commanding brilliance.

Today’s programme traces the saxophone’s entry into the concert hall — from Glazunov’s Romantic warmth to Ibert’s sparkling wit, to Creston’s rhythmic vitality. Each composer found in the instrument a voice both noble and playful, at once classical and modern.

The saxophone has inspired some striking works in the concert repertoire. Today we hear three of the most important.

Alexander Glazunov – Concerto in E-flat major for Alto Saxophone and String Orchestra, Op. 109 (1934)
