There just is not enough music with contrabassoon in it.  I’m primarily a contrabassoon player, so I wanted to write something that had a contrabassoon in it.  This piece came simply from that desire.  It took me almost three months to figure out exactly what the mutant tadpole was, but in the end, I think the three-eyed, nine-legged, no-toothed amphibian finally came to the surface.  Your mind can do more explaining for you than I can, so just let it wander.
