Schäfer, S.: Lament for O


item number: 940939
in stock
for two double basses with two scores.

Lament for O. was composed in memory of bassist Ovidiu Badila. Arco and Pizzicato contrast in this blues-like work, consisting of one movement. An extended pizzicato cadenza for bass 2 will appeal to players comfortable in classical and jazz styles. There are many contrasting moods and sections with high legato melodies above a jazzy pizzicato accompaniment.

»Lament for O. is an impressive work combining elements of classical and jazz with echoes of folk styles and improvisation.«
