Work
Piece No. 3
for double bass and chamber ensemble
About
This work is adapted from a piece I wrote during my student years at the University of Canterbury. It uses tightly harmonic sections and contrasts them with loose melodic sections which were meant to express my mixed and confused feelings which were apparent to me at the time. For this arrangement I have kept these sections whilst forming a dramatic outline for the bass soloist. The conductor cues the numbered sections in any order depending on the progress of the piece.
