CONCERTINO FOR BASSOON, Opus 171 was commissioned by Dr. Mark Rogers and was premiered in April 2023 by the University of Kansas Wind Ensemble, Dr. Paul Popiel conductor, with Eric Stomberg playing bassoon. The work is in one movement. Like so many famous works for bassoon, it is based in F major. The piece is in a modified five-part rondo form, with the slow middle portion in Bb serving as the B theme. Rather jolly in nature, the work is intended to show off not only the happy nature of the bassoon, but also to demonstrate its expressive lyricism and dazzling technique.

Why we love this

Barnes captures the bassoon's full personality here, moving effortlessly between moments of genuine warmth and technical sparkle. The modified rondo form gives your ensemble clear signposts while the F major tonality sits perfectly for the solo instrument, and the inclusion of a contrasting Bb section creates genuine architecture without becoming academic.

What to expect

Warm, witty, and genuinely charming. The piece radiates the lighter side of the bassoon's personality while never winking at the audience or sacrificing musical substance. You hear genuine affection for the instrument throughout.

Who it's for

This work suits concert bands at the Grade 4 level with a confident bassoon soloist. Directors looking to feature a principal reed without venturing into extended technique or extreme ranges will find this especially useful.

How to get the most out of it

Balance the solo line carefully in measures where the wind ensemble carries harmonic weight; the bassoon needs presence but shouldn't battle the full ensemble sound.
Shape the slow B theme in Bb with genuine lyricism, treating it as a moment of repose that contrasts with the jollier outer sections.
Let the accompaniment establish a relaxed, conversational energy in the rondo sections rather than pushing the tempo; this supports the 'jolly' character without rushing.

How to use it

Program this as a feature during a concert emphasizing solo artistry, pairing it alongside other single-instrument showcases. Its cheerful temperament makes it ideal for spring concerts or pops programs where you want to celebrate your ensemble's musicality without requiring heavy, dramatic works.
