Chaconne on Haydn’s Sixth Symphony Bassoon Passage for Two Bassoons and Chamber Orchestra
I fell in love with a bassoon passage in the minuet in Haydn's Sixth Symphony and wrote a chaconne based on it. My beginning and ending are for bassoon and strings, taken directly from Haydn, and between these I have various arrangements accompanying the passage, which gets played by other instruments as well as the bassoons. My favorite arrangement could be labeled "Americana" since it includes references to My Darling Clementine and Stars and Stripes Forever. Duration 5 minutes. The sound clip is computer-generated. There is an arrangement of this piece for wind quintet, titled Haydn Bassoon Chaconne, and sold separately.
