FAURÉ MELODIES FOR BASSOON AND PIANO

arranged and edited by Elisabeth Parry and John Alley

Fauré melodies for bassoon and piano, drawn from some of the composer’s most beautiful songs. Arranged and edited by Elisabeth Parry and John Alley, this collection brings the lyrical qualities of Fauré’s vocal writing to the warm and expressive sound of the bassoon.

The melodies work particularly well as short recital and concert pieces, while also offering rewarding material for developing phrasing, breath control, tonal colour and an understanding of French musical style.
