Will iam Knezovich originally arranged this set of Christmas pieces for bassoon trio, and it was published by ALRY Publications (USA) in 1988. With some slight adjustments here and there, including some key changes and octave displacements, Matt Johnston has adapted them for bass clarinet trio. It should be noted that because of these changes in key, the bassoon version cannot be played simultaneously with this edition for bass clarinet. This volume contains two Christmas Medleys (I & II), as well as A Christmas Collection, consisting of five familiar carols cleverly arranged for holiday performances. Contains: O Come All Ye Faithful, Good King Wenceslas, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, The First Noel, and Ding Dong Merrily On High.

Orig inally composed by Pavel Chesnokov in 1912, Salvation is Created seemed perfectly suitable to be arranged for bass clarinet ensemble. Some hairpin crescendos and decrescendos have been added, as well as some breath marks to help with the phrasing. However, if the players are simply reminded that it was originally a choral piece, the phrasing will come naturally.

Euge ne Bourdeau came from a family of bassoonists and eventually became the professor of bassoon at the Paris Conservatory from 1891 to 1922. Though not well-known as a composer, he composed three solos for bassoon, consisting of a a variety of styles. The Deuxieme (Second) Solo, composed for the 1907 concours of the Paris Conservatory, is in three sections: a stately introduction, a slow middle section, and a brisk allegretto. Originally in the key of B minor/D major, the entire piece has been transposed up one half-step, to better accommodate the range of the bass clarinet, as well as to make it a more comfortable key.

Duri ng the time the arranger studied bassoon in college, he always got the impression that the Premier Solo by Eugene Bourdeau was one of those minor pieces, meant to be played early on as a student before being able or allowed to play the real repertoire. Originally composed for the Concours of the Paris Conservatory, there really is a lot going on in such a relatively short piece and the piece transposes remarkably well for the bass clarinet! Included are a part for a standard-range instrument (to low E-flat), and for an extended range instrument (to low C), with the latter being identical to the original bassoon part. From the edition for bass clarinet and piano, this arrangement has been created for solo bass clarinet and clarinet choir, although it is perfectly suitable for a bassoon to be the soloist as well.

This arrangement of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Overture from The Marriage of Figaro could easily be played by a traditional clarinet choir, simply reading all the Bass Clarinet parts on B-flat Clarinets, and then playing the Contra part on Bass Clarinet (and Contra). However, it should be known that the original intent is for this to be performed solely by low clarinets. While optional, the addition of the timpani part is a nice compliment to the ensemble and aside from the change in key, is identical to the original version.

What began as an arrangement of this movement for a budding high school bass clarinet soloist has evolved into a full arrangement for soloist accompanied by clarinet choir. Naturally, even though the original intent of this arrangement is for a bass clarinetist to be feature, the solo part could also be successfully performed by a bassoon, euphonium, or even a trombone. Written when Mozart was only 18 years old, this concerto is a cornerstone in the repertoire, and bassoonists are typically expected to play at least part of it in any orchestral audition.

Juli us Klengel (1859 - 1933) was a German cellist who is most well-known for his compositions for his own instrument, most notably a large output of works for multiple cellos. After joining the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra at the age of 15, he became the principal cellist for the group in 1881 at the age of 22. The largest cello ensemble he composed was his Hymnus, Op. 57, for twelve cellos. In crafting this arrangement for twelve low clarinets, unfortunately, it was not as simple as just transposing the parts into the bass clarinet key. Ultimately, the decision was made to transpose the work from G major to B-flat major, in order to better suit the ranges of the instrument. Also, the addition of the two contra clarinets allowed the accommodation of this transposition, as well as giving some flexibility in regards to shifting some phrases amongst the parts.

This arrangement came about thanks to a bright, high school bass clarinet student from Washington State, expressing his desire to play a concerto of some sort. Though the repertoire for the instrument has been quickly expanding in recent decades, the arranger thought what might suit him perfectly would be just to simply transcribe this Rondo movement of the Mozart Bassoon Concerto. Written when Mozart was only 18 years old, this concerto is a cornerstone in the repertoire, and bassoonists are typically expected to play at least part of it in any orchestral audition. The solo part suits the range of the bass clarinet very well and an extended range instrument is not required.

The Élégie, Op. 24, of Gabriel Fauré was composed in 1880, intended to be the slow movement of a Cello Sonata he began to compose. The Sonata was never completed, and this work was first published in 1883 as a stand-alone piece. Included are a part for a standard-range instrument (to low E-flat), and for an extended range instrument (to low C), with the latter being identical to the original cello part.

The Piano Concerto No. 24 in C Minor of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composed in Vienna during the winter of 1785-86. It was premiered at the Vienna Burgtheatre in April 1786 only one month before the premiere of his opera The Marriage of Figaro in the same theatre. This piano concerto is one of his few works composed in a minor key, and is also the only one of the solo piano concerti he wrote to include clarinet parts. It is in three movements, (Allegro, Larghetto, Allegretto) and approximately 30 minutes in length.

Cami lle Saint-Saëns composed this Romance, Op. 51, in 1877, originally in the key of D major for cello and piano. The form of the piece is relatively simple, opening with a lyrical melody over a repetitive and somewhat rhythmic accompaniment. The middle section modulates to the key of the flattened 6th scale degree (B-flat major), using this to arrive at the dominant chord, in which there are some pseudo cadenza-like moments. Following this, a return to the opening melody with a slightly modified accompaniment, and subsequently a brief coda. To better accommodate the bass clarinet, the entire piece has been transposed up a half-step from the original version into a more comfortable key of E-flat major. Additionally, for much of the piece, the solo part has been lowered by an octave, as to make the piece generally more accessible to students. Should there be a desire to hear the piece more in the range of the original version, one could simply play it on a standard B-flat clarinet to achieve this effect. Though only about four minutes in length, this relatively short vignette captures much of the true essence of Saint-Saëns, not only through the harmonic progressions and accompanimental figures used, but also demonstrating his gift of turning a simple melody into something extraordinary.

Germ an bassoonist and pedagogue Julius Weissenborn is known primarily as an author and composer of method and etude books familiar to all bassoonists. However, he also composed a number of solo works, including a collection of pieces in his Opus 9, for bassoon and piano. The first two works of this opus, Arioso and Humoreske, pair so well together that they are often performed together as a single piece, something slow and lyrical, followed by something quicker and technical. And it just so turns out that with a relatively simple transposition, they are perfectly suited for the bass clarinet. In this edition, for each movement, the piano part has been transposed down a whole-step to better accommodate the bass clarinet.

ISBN 9790365073283.

Alth ough Ferdinand David is mostly known as a composer for a couple of his instrumental works, namely a Concertino for Trombone, and this Concertino, Op. 12 for bassoon, perhaps he should be most well-known as the violinist who premiered the Violin Concerto of Felix Mendelssohn in 1845. He was appointed as concertmaster of the Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig when Mendelssohn, a childhood friend, became the principal conductor in 1835. This Concertino for bassoon also exists in a version for viola, and now subsequently this edition for bass clarinet. It is a fun solo in two parts, first an aria-like melody, followed by a technical Presto agitato. The key has been kept the same as the original version, and although it is preferred to perform with an extended range instrument, indications are made for adapting it to a standard range bass clarinet.
