The bassoon ensemble s future seemed indistinct for decades until the emergence in the 1960 s of a musical organization that flourished in Boston with the unlikely name of the Bubonic Bassoon Quartet. Known for their unusual style, the four surviving members of the quartet usually appear in monk s robes with incense burning on the floor. All four members took turns writing and arranging their now infamous bassoon quartets, most of which are entertaining and humorous in nature. They drew their parts face down, sometimes even for concerts.
