Krapp's Endgame (score & parts) - BSN/STG4/MONK

Krapp's Endgame

for bassoon, string quartet, and optional Buddhist monk

by Shinji Eshima

Commissioned by and dedicated to Steve Dibner. This one-movement work (approx. 6-7 min.) is creative, unique, challenging, and totally accessible for performers and audience. The ending is inspired by an Alan Ginsberg poem. Full instrumentation is solo bassoon, string quartet, and optional Buddhist monk.
