Over the years I've collected quite a large library of contemporary bassoon music for performance and study. Because I enjoy playing and finding new music, I'm often asked for suggestions on where or how to locate new music for and with bassoon. Here are my answers, collected into tables arranged by the composers' last names.

I compiled these tables first for use in for my Bassoon Repertoire Class at Arizona State University, and have moved the tables to my University of Michigan site because so many people have consulted them and have helped me to update them over the years. I have not always been able to find publisher information on the works, or to keep the links for the publishers up to date. If you have information that does not appear by an entry, by all means let me know. The same goes for works that should appear here and do not. I'd be glad to continue to expand this table. The entries were compiled from my personal library, from composers themselves, publisher catalogs, music information centers, recordings and the fantastic Bassoon Bibliography by Bodo Koenigsbeck.

This table does not include etude books or other pedagogical materials. To enter the tables, click on the letter of the composer's last name in the menu above.

Update 11/07: I have added the country of origin of each composer, to the best of my ability, for those bassoonists looking to search by nationality. As you load each page, simply search by the name of the country, and your entries should come up easily. You will have to scroll through the entries, as I have not reformulated these tables to isolate items by search criteria.
