1001 Nights, and then Something Different is a piece combining the famous bassoon solos of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov with the song "Something Different" from the hit Broadway show "The Band's Visit," (words and music used with permission from David Yazbek).
This piece features two characters: the bassoonist, and the singer who is listening to her play. The singer doesn't understand what the bassoonist is "singing" about, and projects her budding feelings of romance and fascination as she explores the subject of the bassoonist's song. Meanwhile, the bassoonist performs excerpts from Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade," a piece which in itself embodies story-telling, romance, and survival.
