[rodgersorgan] Re: Bassoonitis.


Charlie,  I applaud your thinking about the16' Posuane/Bassoon.  It does as 
you say, add to pitch definition, vs. "Bombarde overload" ( which I say with 
tounge in cheek." who dosn't get a thrill, when adding a 16' bombarde! ")  
Using a quarter note walking bass in the pedal with the 16' Bassoon + mf-f 
registration in a great old hymn like "Crown Him with Many Crowns"  impartes 
to the congregation a rythmic/melody line that they can't refuse.  It's 
muisic in the premordial sense.   You just have to sing it!  Thank God for 
Bombardes!  But, as you implied,  sometimes too much of a good thing is too 
much.
