Description

This collection of twelve engaging pieces offers study and concert repertoire and is playable by bassists of different abilities. Bowings have been added, which the players can easily adapt or change, and many pieces have few or no dynamic markings allowing each ensemble to create their own unique performance. The musical and technical challenges are, on the whole, straightforward and accessible to progressing bassists of all ages.

Bass Clef Trios Book 1 features music from the 16th to the 20th-century, in a range of inventive styles and idioms which should offer something of interest for performers and audiences alike. A number of canons have been included, with each bassist playing the same part, and all the arrangements have been created to work with three players or larger forces.

The trios can be used to develop ensemble skills, possibly useful as sight- reading, or just for enjoyment and the possibilities are endless. Sections can be repeated to create a longer piece and music from the 16th and 17th- centuries could be played with or without vibrato to create a wealth of contrasts and colours.

Please note: Bass Clef Trios Book 1 is in score format alongside three separate parts for ‘Air Populaire: Variations on Au Clair de la Lune’ by V.F. Verrimst.

About the Arranger

David Heyes (b.1960) studied double bass with Laurence Gray and Bronwen Naish, later at the Royal College of Music in London, and completed his post-graduate studies in Prague with František Pošta (Principal Bass, Czech Philharmonic Orchestra). He has given recitals and masterclasses in 20 countries over the past few years and has been a juror at a number of international competitions, three times as chairman. David’s collaborative work gained him a prestigious award from the David Walter Charitable Trust of New York for his pioneering activities as a soloist, teacher, publisher, and commissioner of new music for double bass and he works with composers throughout the world to expand the double bass repertoire by commissioning new music and by rediscovering forgotten ones. Since 1983 more than 700 works have been written for him, music from one to twenty basses and from beginner to virtuoso, and he has premiered ten contemporary concertos with orchestra. David began to compose in 2013 and has had music performed and recorded in 29 countries across five continents. He is a D’Addario Performing Artist and has recently commissioned a solo double bass from British master-luthier Martin Penning.
