Unfortunately, we cannot publish or distribute pieces which we have arranged and recorded written by living composers (or those who haven't been dead long enough) without their permission or their publishers so please don't ask! Copyright laws allow the Bassoon Brothers to record our arrangements of living composers works and we pay royalties to their publishers, but this right is not automatically extended to others nor is any other use of their work allowed.
Several of the pieces recorded by the Bassoon Brothers are published trombone or bassoon quartets. The following are published works. Funeral March of a Marionette (Rubank, 4 trombones or Editions Viento 6b2cb version), Alexanders Ragtime Band, Hey Jude (Taverner, 4 trombones), The Wedding Guest (Bubonic--John Miller), Last Tango and Blue Set No. 2 (Schickele--), Fripperies (Lowell Shaw), Scherzo (Leduc), Pigs (Emerson, originally 4 bsns).
