Roger Zare’s Seas of the Moon was the winning piece in the 2023 Bassoon Chamber Music Composition Competition (BCMCC), and is part of the required repertoire for both the Preliminary and Final rounds of this year’s Meg Quigley Vivaldi Competition. In this Coffee Talk, Zare will discuss the piece’s inspiration and composition. It’s also your chance to ask the composer himself about matters of interpretation, or whatever you’re curious about!
