Product Description

I wrote this song on the first day of spring break, when it decided to snow. I definitely wasnt expecting that! It was a softly falling snow, and inspired me to write this piece.

Play as smoothly as you can throughout the whole piece. Make sure you count very carefully in measure 21 and 22; the rhythms might surprise you. Also pay close attention to how the music is slurred. When you tongue, do so gently. The more you can help others imagine a quiet day with snow falling slowly and gently, the better. Nowhere in this piece should you play very loudly even the mezzo forte sections should be on the softer side.

Time: ca. 1:30

Range: Bb2-C4

Key: Bb Major

Time Signature: 4/4

I would generally use this piece with a solid first year bassoon student transferring from another instrument, or a second year bassoonist. There are a couple places where flicking up to Bb is advised. Other technical considerations are moving between D and Eb, and F and G. There are also a few rhythmic challenges such as eighth to dotted quarter, and eighth note and two sixteenths.

Once the student has purchased this piece, an adjudicators copy may be made. Teachers may purchase individual copies for each students use. Studio licensing is not available.
