There has been significant research on bassoon music within certain cultures. There has also been significant research on contemporary bassoon techniques. The information we have on both subjects is not entirely uncommon; however, there is minimal scholarly contribution regarding contemporary bassoon music created in the countries of Ireland and Scotland. Documenting, analyzing, and performing music from composers in this area of the world is essential in preserving bassoon history. Additionally, it is valuable to have an understanding of the contemporary techniques these composers use for a more cultural and technical breadth of musical insight in the 21st century.
