Cumberdeen Dam V and T by Hollis Taylor

Score

Solo bassoon in 5 movements, c.9'00
The pied butcherbird upon which the work is based sings in rushed gusts of notes; the effect is anticipatory, like beats two-three of a Viennese waltz or beats two and four of an up-tempo bluegrass number. The angularity of the essentially five-bar phrases is appealing. Two separate voices are implied by the octave or more spread between motivic segments and the qualitative difference between the lower and higher material. Octave displacement above and beyond the original birdsong figures in the work.

Seven Small Wheels Revolving by Michael Hugh Dixon

two scores

Horn and bassoon, c.5'00
The music is composed using the tuning system called 'Just Intonation'.  Here the tunings are organised around twelve sets of harmonics playable on a standard double horn.  Each valve slide is precisely tuned in a just tonantion ratio to the central pitch, F concert.  The bassoon player has more limiited number of pitches to play though most will require non-standard fingerings to match the horn. 
Audio sample performed by Sofia Ree (bassoon) and Michael Dixon (horn).  Composed 2010

To Fill His Emptiness by Houston Dunleavy

Score and part

Bassoon and piano, c.7'00
The title comes from the musical processes that unfold in the work. The emptiness referred to is the held note at the end of the first phrase in the piano. The piece is an exploration as to how this held note, and its analogous moments later in the work, can be ?filled? with musical material. The objective of the pieces was to find as many ways as possible to fill these empty moments while still retaining musical characteristics. So, the process of filling the space is constantly evolving, constantly changing.
As the piece progress, these ?fillers? begin to take on a life of their own. They grow and be empty space recedes. The ?empty space? flows backward and forward between the bassoon and piano, almost like a tennis game!
