Schäfer, S.: Vocalise (Histoires Nr. 6)

For double bass and piano, pianopart in orchestral and solo tuning, with solopart double bass.

Vocalise belongs to the cycle »Histoires« and is dedicated to the Finnish bassist and composer Teppo Hauta-Aho. After a motorical piano opening the double bass starts with long notes from far away. This spherical and longing song without words becomes more intense throughout the piece. Vocalise is perfect for all players looking for a lyrical composition in solo register.
