RUN was commissioned by the Renegade Bassoon Quartet, and was completed in January 2017. As I received the invitation for this collaboration, I immediately knew that I wanted to give the quartet something powerful and of merit that reflects the name of the group. RUN conveys the message that we, as humans, are always running and chasing for something else in our lives; the various rhythmic patterns in the music are the different paces we take for the journey.

The quartet is free to modify the tempo of the piece at their own discretion- according to their running pace for each section. Though restless with ostinatos in majority of the piece, the climactic passage slows down rhythmically, and the melody captures the idea that we should each search for the meaning and reason for the race in life.

I hope this piece ignites the rhythm within you to keep running your very own race.

Duration: 5 minutes.

Each year I would compose a birthday present for my wife's granddaughter, Becky. I started with a solo bassoon piece. Then I wrote a bassoon duo for her and her teacher. Then Becky told me she has a friend who plays the violin. So I wrote her a duo for violin and bassoon. The next year her brother took up the double bass, so I wrote a duo for bassoon and double bass and called it A Canon for the Under Belly. Last year she told me she formed a wind trio with flute, clarinet and bassoon. So I did that for her. This year I decided that I would write something a bit more serious for her, a bassoon quartet. It is in six short movements and the last one is a fugue!!!

Topsy Turvy is a ragtime two step march. Topsy Turvy refers to something that is head over heels or mixed up and confused. It all sounds fine, but you could say the melody could have been written upside down! It is set by John Gibson for 4 bassoons.

Composed by Quinn McMath. Contemporary. 28 pages. Quinn McMath #6134957. Published by Quinn McMath (A0.889002).

A Bridge Between an Ocean for Bassoon Quartet is an arrangement of a choral piece by Quinn McMath under the same name. The piece deals with the elusive and sometimes damaging transition away from childhood. The beginning represents the realization of the move away from youth, and the piece journeys through the bittersweet acceptance of this passing of time. This piece should be driven with passion and emotion as this feeling is something most of the audience will relate to. This piece is suitable for ensembles of a high school level and up.

Play this lovely arrangement of the haunting song from Game of Thrones season 8! Great for getting beginner and intermediate players working together on something rewarding.

Bassoon 1 goes up to high B, but the rest of the parts stay well within the range of beginners.

Contrabassoon is optional in this one.
