Forsyth's Modern Wind Music is a series of volumes containing exciting and challenging, but not unduly difficult, works by talented English composers of current or recent vintage for recital, study or recreation. Each volume includes three works with piano, one unaccompanied piece, and one piece for two or more players of the instrument. This volume for Bassoon features Duncan Druce's two atmospheric 'Night-Pieces', for solo bassoon and a trio of bassoons respectively, works which are inspired by quotations from Thomas Campion and Shakespeare's Macbeth. Geoffrey Poole's coulourful 'Revue' offers a nice contrast with its witty references to the Offenbach Can-Can, while further light relief is present in Margaret Lucy Wikins energetic and athletic 'Circuit'. Another mood is conjured in the remaining piece, James Langley's gentle and haunting 'Cavatina'.
