Beschreibung
Lucca's March is a fun and lively work which is playable by bass quartet or
with larger forces. It was composed for Bass2018 in Lucca (Italy) but, due to
various circumstances, was not performed receiving it's premiere on Saturday
22 September 2018 by the massed basses of the Wells Double Bass Weekend
(Wells, Somerset), directed by David Heyes. Lucca's March is light-hearted
and full of rhythmic momentum, ideal as the first or final work in a concert,
and is suitable for bassists of different ability levels. The theme is catchy
and singable, with supportive accompaniments, and the piece piece brims with
life and good humour. Bassist and composer Simon Garcia was born in Mugardos
(Spain) in 1977 and graduated in double bass from the Conservatorio Superior
of Salamanca. He has worked as a double bassist in the Royal Orchestra of
Galicia, having also performed in many orchestras throughout Spain, and is
the bassist in the Symphony Wind Orchestra of A. Coruna. He has collaborated
with many musicians and ensembles, particularly in the field of contemporary
music, and has recorded and performed on many commercial recordings and for
television and radio broadcasts. Simon Garcia has composed more than fifty
works for double bass, ranging from two to six players, alongside
transcriptions of these pieces for various chamber ensembles. His music has
been performed in Mexico, Venezuela, Uruguay, Denmark, Spain, Japan, Italy,
Austria, Germany, Canada, USA and UK by The Bass Gang, Bass Instinct and Il
Quint-etto amongst others, and some of his music was used as teaching
material in the 2011 ISB Year of Collaborative Music. Simon Garcia's music
is lively, jazzy and rhythmic with great forward momentum and drive.
Accessible for players and audiences alike, he writes colourful music of
distinction and energy, employing the entire range of the double bass.
