As an alumnus of Kansas State University, I have built relationships with a number of the faculty to include the wonderful husband and wife team of Steve (tuba) and Susan (bassoon) Maxwell. They approached me in the fall of 2015 about writing a work that would work as both a solo work for tuba as well as bassoon. Considering I had never written a work for solo tuba, I decided to write a concert piece for tuba and piano, after which I created the version for bassoon and piano. Though written in my style, it is modeled after the 19th century French/Paris Conservatory tradition.

Méditation is a symphonic intermezzo from the opera Thaïs by French composer Jules Massenet and is considered to be one of the great encore pieces; world-class violin soloists such as Joshua Bell, Sarah Chang, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Itzhak Perlman, David Garrett and Maxim Vengerov have performed the piece as soloists with major orchestras throughout the world.

This arrangement for bassoon and piano faithfully reproduces the original for violin.
