Concertino for Bassoon and Wind Ensemble was commissioned by Eastern Michigan University Bands and premiered by the EMU Wind Symphony with Christine Prince as solo bassoonist in April, 2004. The version with piano accompaniment was premiered at the 2006 International Double Reed Society conference. It is a dramatic, one-movement work that showcases the performer's lyricism and technical facility.

Bodhán
The melody here is very broken up, so breathe and be ready for the next entry in good time. Don’t drag behind the drum in the piano part. Notice that only some of the notes are marked staccato.

À la Modal
Modes are scales based on the white notes of the piano, say, so you won’t find a single accidental in this piece. It shows that expression in music depends on more than just the dynamics, that is, how loudly and softly you play. We also need to observe the articulation markings such as staccato, tenuto and the accents on both long and short notes.

Schubert’s Ghost
Schubert is one of my favourite composers. I hope you enjoy the swing of the dotted rhythms and accents in this little Viennese impression. There are three musical quotations: one from Schubert himself, one from a later Viennese composer, Gustav Mahler and, near the end, the Dies Irae tune which has been used by many composers.
