arr. for five bassoons and contrabassoon by Gillian Horn
Known as the "Raindrop" prelude, this is one of the 24 Chopin preludes composed in 1838. Originally for solo piano, this prelude is the longest of the set and is noted for its repeating A♭, which appears throughout the piece and sounds like raindrops to many listeners.
After a tranquil opening in Db major, we transition into the C# minor middle section where the music intensifies as we pass from dream to nightmare (this is where we feature the rich low tones of the contrabassoon). The nightmare dispels as suddenly as it arrived, and we return back to peace and harmony once more.
I get much joy from writing arrangements of great works that we wind players don't always get to perform. I hope you enjoy my brand new arrangement for five bassoons and contrabassoon!
