Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity (arranged for Bassoon Ensemble) - Gustav Holst

[@Jghjkl829]

My jaw dropped from the first second. I was NOT expecting that tempo from the beginning. I loved every second of it!

[@nou6990]

miraculous arrangement and playing but i just love love love how sometomes the bassoons line up forming a diagonal

[@jimm.s.4131]

lol, I didn't notice that

[@TedTrembinski]

Incredible! Beautiful tone and blend. I appreciate you taking it slow enough to maintain such a clean articulation throughout - you've got chops!!

[@LT808HI]

Isn’t it so aesthetic that the angle of the bassoons line up perfectly from frame to frame

[@mackenziedavis5280]

I did not know I needed to hear this until just now. Great job!

[@evertbirgersson4171]

it is the way Holst would have arranged it , if he had this many Bassons available.

[@gubbypls]

Love how the thumbnail looks like a continuous long bassoon on the left lol

[@Raffael-Tausend]

haha nice

[@terrymcintyre9947]

Bassooner or later, all music will sound like this. I think it does on Jupiter because of the larger force of gravity there. Because, science!

[@EEEPYK1TTY]

I’ve always loved Jupiter, but now I love it even more since it’s just bassoons!!!

[@bassoonistdonggue1639]

I like to think that at 5:30, Mr.Mayes on the bottom left is playing a gigantic bassoon, assisted by two other Mr.Mayes-s.

[@litbowlofcereal4892]

That tone quality is so rich and luke warm. Such a beautiful basson sound.

[@spencerketterling3083]

A HIGH G???? So crazy and so cool!!

[@markiangooley]

The Big Tune works out nicely, with the contrabassoon more obvious than usual.

[@christianreichelt824]

I only discovered this video now. Great work!

[@atlasmiata]

The contrabasson 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@marcoixca]

I love these wild arrangements and this one is just bliss 👌

[@marcelaislava3177]

This is truly brilliant! As a fellow bassoonist, you have my deepest respect.

[@warrensickel9423]

I agree!

[@madelinezhang9693]

I wholeheartedly agree as well

[@rcdr898]

That articulation is pristine. Amazing job!

[@ingridpearson6228]

Fabulous, what panache and dexterity! A delightful sound and very clever arrangement! I look forward to your next offering...

[@BenjaminBuchanan]

This is so well done! Also... you low-key look how I'd imagine a bassoon would look if it were a person. And I mean that in the best way possible.

[@certifiedbandnerd756]

when see a video of a Bassoon ensemble i think i love the bassoon but this is going to sound muddy because of the bassoons harmonics all those notes make it so muddy but wow i came to this not thinking i wasn't going to be able to hear each individual bassoon but i can and its so clear to! Bravo!!!!

[@thetempest1740]

Just wonderful, really. A fantastic display of this instrument's range and capabilities. The arrangement makes use of all ranges of the bassoon and showcases it's unique tone in each register, then uses that to great effect. I can't give enough praise to the musicianship and dedication to this arrangement, well done.

[@yknoturbss-oon594]

I'm amazed. This is one of the most beautiful renditions of Jupiter. Love it. Is it your arrangement? It's great!

[@ashbymayesbassoon]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes it is my arrangement :)

[@d0nnyr0n]

Incredible range and tone! I love hearing the sounds a bassoon can make when paired with an extremely skilled player!

[@MrKeithterrett]

What a super adaptation, and superb playing. Kudos to you Ashby! I didn't realise Bassoons could articulate so fast. Love the slow middle section, beautiful timbre Ashby! Would love to hear you play an original piece I composed for Bassoon & Piano. May I send it to you?

[@tntristarcolorguard]

SO GOOD!! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us!

[@Pongant]

The chorale was beautiful

[@ronaldthomas74]

[@jacquesgras1084]

Bonjour L’ ensemble sonné très bien’ Bravo pour cette mise en place et les « couleurs » qui sont ici exposées. Beaux détachés et précision des attaques c’ est un travail d’ orfèvre. C’ est ce que l’ on dit en France pour un travail exécuté avec précision et délicatesse.

[@michelleisaface]

Thank you for that beautiful rendition of Holsts Jupiter, my favorite!

good tonguing finally

[@benschroth7717]

The trend is to use technology to play with yourself.

[@zacharycoronado6749]

This is awesome! Do you sell your arrangements? My university is creating a bassoon ensemble and this would be wicked

[@ashbymayesbassoon]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes I do, and am currently setting up a purchase option on my website. If you follow my social media on Facebook/Instagram (@ashbymayesbassoon) I will post soon when it's released, and I be delighted if your university ensemble were to play it!

[@zacharycoronado6749]

@@ashbymayesbassoon we’ll have about 20+ bassoonists to really put some force behind the arrangement played live. It would be super cool!

[@ashbymayesbassoon]

@@zacharycoronado6749 wow that would be good fun! It's not actually been performed live before. If the website isn't up soon and you'd like them, then write me a private message/email and we can arrange purchase not through the online shop 😊

@@ashbymayesbassoon I'm a composer, I never write above a D so I was curious. I was just shocked to hear it so clean

[@ashbymayesbassoon]

@@TheMaestro2005 Oh thank you! I wouldn't recommend writing that high - I like to push to the extremes of the instrument in my arrangements 😅

Was this transposed?

No! Original key :)

[@chrisoconnor9521]

You can't even do your own contra part? Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! All good bassoonists should be able to do that. Also - intonation.

[@ashbymayesbassoon]

It was in the 2020 lockdown, and I had no contra access 😢 luckily my Professor was keen 🤩

[@somebody9033]

What's wrong with the intonation.....
