Ensemble Cymru: The Music Room

Chris Goodman – clarinet

Alanna Pennar-Macfarlane – bassoon

‍

Music:

A clarinet and bassoon may sound like an odd couple, but Beethoven didn’t think so.

He wrote 3 lively clarinet/bassoon duos in his early twenties, and 130 years later

Poulenc composed a hugely popular sonata for the same combination. A host of lively

and eclectic pieces complete this entrancing programme.

‍

Cerddoriaeth:

Efallai bod clarinét a basŵn yn swnio fel pâr rhyfedd, ond nid oedd Beethoven yn

meddwl hynny. Ysgrifennodd 3 deuawd bywiog i’r cyfuniad hwn yn ei ugeiniau cynnar, a

130 mlynedd yn ddiweddarach cyfansoddodd Poulenc sonata hynod boblogaidd ar

gyfer yr un offerynnau. Bydd llu o ddarnau bywiog ac eclectig yn cwblhau'r rhaglen

hudolus hon.
