Beschreibung
The Holy Hours for unaccompanied double bass From the explosively loud
gloriousness of the opening and closing of Matins, to the mysterious
sweetness of Vespers and Compline, The Holy Hours is a Sonata of seven short
movements each of which is supposed to give the impression per the time of
day of one of the seven church office hours. P. Kellach Waddle [Texas, USA /
September 2018] P. Kellach Waddle maintains an extremely active and lauded
career as a composer, soloist, ensemble musician, and conductor. He has held
both section and titled positions in over a dozen festival and professional
orchestras including his current position as a member of the Austin Symphony
Orchestra in Texas (USA). He has composed more than 620 works to date
and has been awarded many prizes, notably an Austin Critics' Table Award for
his String Quartet No.2, three nominations as possible finalist for The
Pulitzer Prize, four nominations as State of Texas Musician of the Year, and
four as a semi-finalist for The American Prize. Quotes about his music
include: '?with all of these luxurious harmonies and melodies, [Waddle] may
be the American Rachmaninoff ' and '?the sheer volume of wonderfully
effective music he composes?borders on the inhuman.' P. Kellach Waddle
continues to emulate such composers as Paul Hindemith, now having written a
major solo work, chamber music solo part, or concerto for every single
standard orchestral instrument apart from timpani. He is eclectic and
prolific continuing to compose for instruments which are neglected, including
his extensive and growing number of pieces for contrabassoon and perhaps most
notably, more than 200 solo and chamber works for his own instrument, the
double bass. After one of his many International Society of Bassists
convention performances an ISB convention official stated '... [Waddle] is
obviously now one of the most creatively thrilling solo bassists in the
world!' A busy guest conducting schedule has taken him to venues such as
Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall in New York City and he also served as
director of the Austin Philharmonic Orchestra for more than two seasons.
The seven movements were premiered at Wells & Mendip Museum (Wells, Somerset)
by David Heyes and members of the Wells Double Bass Academy throughout 2017.
