This quartet was arranged for bassoons from a circus-themed wind quartet. The contrabassoon part can be played by a 4th bassoon. The work itself is a study in compound meters to create a droll effect that the bassoons so wonderfully produce. Contact me for further program notes. billmalcolm@verizon.net.

This circus march lends itself to bassoons. The second time through the trio, the first bassoon could play up an octave ad. lib. A contrabassoon part is included as an alternate for the bassoon 4 part. The sound sample omits the repeats. The 1st bassoon part is more difficult than the other parts.
