🧚🏼 #fairytalefridays 🧚🏼 Today I’m playing a bassoon and contrabassoon duet from Magiya (2013), a piece for orchestra by Sean Shepherd, with @jhobassoon. Thanks for playing this with me, Josh! 🪄 Shepherd, who studied bassoon in addition to composition, wrote Magiya for the inaugural tour of the National Youth Orchestra of the USA. Although written for a youth orchestra, the piece is anything but simple. Shepherd was inspired by the fairy tale music of Russian composers, including Glinka’s Ruslan and Lyudmila and Rimsky-Korsakov’s The Golden Cockerel. The title of his piece, Magiya, translates to “magic.” It is not based on any particular fairy tale, but it embodies spirit of magical music. 🪄 This passage for bassoon and contra is doubled in the other low instruments of the orchestra. The two voices play almost in canon during their playful interaction. 🪄 Please let me know if you have a favorite fairy tale or fairy tale piece you’d like me to play next! . . . #bassoon #classicalmusicians #orchestral #idrs #idrslife #doublereed #doublereedlife #bassoonlife #fagott #fagotto #fagotista #bassoonist #woodwinds #marchingbands #musicmajors #juilliard #fairytalefriday #fairytalemusic #magiya #seanshepherd #magicalmusic #nyousa #magicaltransformation #youthorchestra #contrabassoon #contrafagot
