Bassoon Concerto in B Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was just 18 years old when he wrote the Bassoon Concerto in B-flat major. Although there are some who believe that the work was commissioned by an amateur bassoonist, there is little proof of that. The bulk Mozart of Mozart’s concertos feature the piano as soloist, but he also wrote four concertos for horn, five for solo violin and two for solo flute. (There are also concertos featuring two instruments, or small groups of instruments, and single concertos for clarinet and oboe, among others.) Evidence seems to suggest that Mozart wrote more than one bassoon concerto, but the one in B-flat major is the only one now known. When Mozart completed this composition, bassoons were designed somewhat differently from the way they are now. There were about a dozen fewer keys on the instrument in the Classical period, and its range was a bit narrower as well. Some musical characterizations of the instrument portray it as stuffy, or perhaps even clumsy at times, but Mozart’s writing for the bassoon is graceful and light.

L’Arlesienne Suites 1 & 2 Georges Bizet (1838-1875) was born in Paris, France to a musical family; his father was a singer and his mother a pianist. A child prodigy, he entered the Paris Conservatory at 9 years of age and by the age of 17 he wrote his one and only symphony, the Symphony in C Major. AfBizet ter 1861 he wrote his most popular works, including the incidental music for the play L’Arlesienne and two operas, The Pearl Fishers and Carmen. It was not until after his untimely death at the age of 36, that his music gained popularity.

The music was composed for performance in a play written by Alphonse Daudet titled L’Arlesienne or “Maiden of Arles”. The story was about two brothers, a maiden from Arles whose character never appears in the play, romance, and death. There were 21 performances before closing.

Bizet resurrected the music by rescoring for a larger orchestra and turning it into two orchestral suites with four movements. The themes are original with folk-like melodies.

PROGRAM NOTES

Alex Carlson Alex Carlson has been playing the bassoon since 7th grade, and playing with SOGO since that time. He is also currently the principal bassoonist with the Tacoma Youth Symphony, and has played with Northwest Wind Symphony, Capital Philharmonic, and various church and community orchestras.

He has participated in multiple all-state and all-Northwest music groups. The piece he is performing this evening is the one he played for the State Solo Competition in April, where he placed 1st in the state.

Outside of music, he enjoys running, eating, spending time with friends and family, and is actively involved in his church youth group.

Alex is a senior at Olympia High School, where he has pursued an aggressive academic course of study. He is undecided on which college he will attend next year, but plans to pursue a double major in music and pre-med.

SIDE-BY-SIDE Sunday, November 18 Academy & Debut members are encouraged to invite their musician friends to experience a SOGO rehearsal. Friends can bring their instrument and play - parents are welcome. There will be an informative meeting just after rehearsal for potential new members.
