Summary of This Score
If you have been taking bassoon lessons for some time, you often want to move to the next step: playing melodies you already know. First 50 Songs You Should Play on the Bassoon meets this exact need by bringing together a selection of popular titles and essential themes, in a format designed for daily practice. It features a wide range of styles, allowing you to approach very different characters: singing lines, more marked rhythms, film themes with a strong atmosphere, as well as melodies from the classical repertoire.
The content is particularly interesting for building your musicality on the bassoon: working on breathing and long phrases, attack precision, articulation ranging from more or less legato depending on the pieces, and seeking a homogeneous sound across the entire range used. Another advantage: several songs in this collection "naturally sound" on the bassoon, as some originally included bassoon parts or writing close to its register, making the interpretation very rewarding.
Contents (excerpts): All of Me, All You Need Is Love, Fight Song, The Fool on the Hill, God Bless America, The Godfather (Love Theme), Hallelujah, Happy, Hello, Hey Jude, I Will Always Love You, In the Hall of the Mountain King, Theme from Jaws, Just Give Me a Reason, Let It Go, Livin' on a Prayer, The Pink Panther, Pure Imagination, Roar, Rolling in the Deep, Satin Doll, Shake It Off, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Stand by Me, Stay with Me, This Is Me, What a Wonderful World, and more.
