Twelve Moments of Sanity - SOLO BSN

From the composer:
I began composing Twelve Moments of Sanity the summer of 2018 for my dear beloved and talented friend, bassoonist, Patricia Gunter. I have been deeply disturbed by the current government of the United States and this was before they took over two thousand children away from their parents. I think psychologically in some ways this piece was composed with an effort to express my concerns and to comfort myself. The first movements is about a March and the Hate-Free Movement in Decatur, Georgia. My husband and I marched to support the taking down of a Confederate Monument next to the old courthouse in Decatur. We marched quite a while ago and it still remains. The first three movements express frustration, tempered hopefulness, and anger. The rest of the movements are fairly self-explanatory. My cousin Meredith is a deep joy in my life and a big part of my happiness. I have always adored the sound of the bassoon and it is fun to explore its potential.
