Koshinski-Pocket Grooves (SP)-P/BN

Pocket Grooves by Gene Koshinski is a duet for bassoon and ethnic percussion. Pocket Grooves is designed with "small" in mind. The pieces are short and require small hand-held instruments for the percussionist while they also focus on simple harmony and simple melody. While these pieces present incredible challenges for the bassoonist, they are aesthetically light in nature and designed to celebrate three different traditional styles of music in the world (Joropo from Venezuela, Samai from the Middle East, and Choro from Brazil).
