M. Goddard: Paso Doble Demento: Saxophone Ensemble: Instrumental Album

Bassoon Quartet-Pasodoble Demento was written for the 'Equal Opportunities Bassoon Quartet' in 1986 and has since become a favourite 'lollipop' being selected for the Oxford Music Festival Prize Winners' Concert in the same year and subsequently broadcast. The style of the piece is rooted in 'big band' sounds.Duration: 3 mins. 4 Bassoons (No contra required).

Brassband-This overture which parallels some of the traditional circus acts (for example trapeze jugglers clowns etc) is meant as an affectionate parody of a musical style all too readily neglected these days. Duration: 6 minutes. Manuscript form. (Also available for orchestra on hire only). 'Mark Goddard has a sense of humour impish in places and this was evident in his lighthearted pieces titled 'The Circus' and 'Pasodoble Demento'. - British Bandsman.
