Drop Bear (Bassoon and Piano)

A bassoon solo with piano accompaniment, about the mythical Australian animal, of unkown origin. Probably comes from the idea that Australia has many dangerous animals, and koalas do have quite sharp claws they can use if need be. If dehydrated they can drop from trees. The drop bear is said to be bigger than a usual koala, and is a carnivorous animal that can drop from high branches on unsuspecting animals. Here he is evil but also a cool dude riding the branches and flying through the air. Enjoy!

Instrumentation: Bassoon and Piano

Composer: Fiona Hickie
