The BBC’s ‘Captain Pugwash’ theme (known also as the Trumpet or Thunder Hornpipe) arranged for a quartet of buccaneering bassoonists! Free PDF download!!
Players of a certain age will be familiar with this Trumpet Hornpipe, although not perhaps by its original name. It was used as the theme tune to the BBC’s popular children’s series ‘Captain Pugwash‘. In America it may be better known as the Thunder Hornpipe.
A (very) little – but perfectly formed – freebie for all you buccaneering bassoonists! Great as an encore.

Holzmann’s Blaze-Away! was a tribute to Teddy Roosevelt’s wartime leadership. Best known today as a circus march it is ideally suited as a bassoon quartet.
When Alford’s Colonel Bogey March was paired with the song Hitler Has Only Got One Ball during WWII it became even more popular. Brilliant on four bassoons!
Beethoven’s Turkish March from The Ruins of Athens is stomping good fun! It’s meant to sound like a passing procession – so why not of bassoonists?!
