Description
Composed in 2004 for Jon Beebe, the composer describes this tonal piece as "a whimsical hillbilly foot stomper" for solo bassoon. This is a challenging but rewarding piece that features some of this composer's habitual wide leaps between an upper register melody and an accompanying bass line, but also some very rapid banjo-inspired passagework. The full range is used up to C5.
