Bassoon & Pipe Organ: Saint-Saëns, The Swan (Le Cygne)

[MrxxSexyxxEmo]

I'd love to have a copy of this arrangement...

[joenwayne]

@MrxxSexyxxEmo

We're simply playing from a piano sheet-music version. This is available in any music store or on-line.

[jennyykristinee]

Loving it <3. I've found the notes to this melody, or ... It's written to the flute, but I've copying it to the bassoon :D. So, now I'm going to try to play like you!

the sound of the bassoon is so melancholic and relaxing. You are a truly sensitive musician. Thanks a lot.

I enjoyed listening to you both! I've been going through videos all night and this one made me stop, listen, and be happy!

Hi Hunter,

Thanks for viewing and your kind comments. I'll forward your question to Wendy.

Kind regards,

Wayne

[wlbsn1]

Thank you. I play a Heckle, serial # 11892. Got it in 1974. I'm sure your Fox is very nice. I've liked every Fox bassoon that I've ever tried.

[mauriwayar]

it's great, you play really with your hearth. Nice sound! :-)

[joenwayne]

@mauriwayar Thanks for your kind comments and for viewing.

[Jessmantha]

Do you guys do the arrangements yourselves or do you find sheet music for pipe organ and bassoon? I play both you see... I have double interest!!!

[joenwayne]

Since there is very little out there in print for bsn. and organ/piano, we do our own arrangements - usually from a piano or organ version.

[quinn244]

Both you and he bassonist are amazing players!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I being a organist myself love your superb technique YOU guys need to post more wonderful pieces like this please.

[joenwayne]

Thank you for your very kind comments and for viewing.

[jpstenino]

I just love this video...there is a touch of musical magic in this performance. The bassoon performance is so wonderful and the pipe organ is, with great craft, floating right where it should be.

[joenwayne]

Thank you for viewing and your very kind comments.

[shakerite11]

[sandree7]

I love it . I'd never think about the organ and the bassoon together, but it sound really great. Good job both! ;)

[joenwayne]

Thanks for viewing and your kind comments.

[FranzofL]

What a bizarre arrangement!! I could never picture this for organ and bassoon! But it's stunningly beautiful!

You have one of the smoothest tones on bassoon! Beautiful! Sublime! I thank your for this beautiful rendition. I like even more than cello!

Incredible!

[joenwayne]

Thank you for your kind comments. I've passed them on to the bassoonist, who, as you mention, is a wonderful player.

[syrinx79]

beautiful performance of this piece. You also do a really nice job up in the tenor clef..

[joenwayne]

Thank you. I'm the unseen organist in the video. I'll pass your comments on to the bassoon player.

[ZutroyPeter]

You have incredible lungs!

[joenwayne]

Thank you. I'm the unseen organist in the video. I'll pass your comments on to the bassoon player.

[MasterMuffinMan]

Wow, I never thought the piece would work so well on the bassoon. Very nicely played by both.

[ttay1122]

i play the piano organ and the clarinet, but i wanna play the oboe :/

[domisthebomb09]

was that relevant to the vid??? just sayin'

[andrewcheukheihk]

great tone~ especially those high notes

it reli impress me~ =]

[sparsetick]

great tone! :)

[Galaor1976]

IMPRESSIVE! It gave me the "swan" bumps.

[joenwayne]

;o)

[bassoonarama]

Beautiful job!!!! As a bassoon player, I know hard it is to get such a nice sounding tone! Keep it up!!!

[moretg]

Wonderful Swan with a bassoon! You are better playing bassoon than clarinet! Well Done

[fagottobrasil]

Your tone is unbelievable, it is bright elegant beautiful! What type of Bocal , reed do you play?

[ConcertoInEminor]

AHH!! I love this song! I'm playing it on violin, but it's so pretty, and I'd really like to learn the basson too! I can play the oboe, so I have a pretty good feel for the double reed... but you have such pretty tone, and the acoustics must have been good too!

[bassdonn]

it was a pleasure to listen to you, love your warm round sound. thats the sound i try get when i play.

[domisthebomb09]

You are the reason i play Bassoon

[fryape]

sh*t. nice tone

[PoyznSnce]

so what was that note that youtriped on in the middle i know it was very high thats why im asking its very impressive

[wlbsn1]

It only went up to a D. I know it sounds like it's higher because I had trouble with it.

[PoyznSnce]

OMG every thing you play sound beautiful

[ThaSchwab]

That's very good.
