Beschreibung
Scottish composer-educator Katrina Gordon was recently commissioned by an
international group of musicians from the UK, USA, Belgium and Portugal to
write a suite of eight pieces for the progressing young bassist and completed
in August 2020. Creature Comforts (exotic and endangered species) is a
fascinating suite to engage and inspire young bassists (c.Grade 4-5 level).
Each piece is named after a rare and endangered species, featuring a short
and fascinating programme note about each animal by the composer, with piano
accompaniments which are colourful and accessible, aimed at the double bass
teacher with some pianistic skills rather than the virtuoso. The double bass
part playing styles such as arco, pizzicato, col legno and tremolando,
alongside a range of keys and time signatures, which offer both an
educational aspect within attractive pieces which are full of character and
invention. Available as a print edition or as a PDF file -,please contact

Katrina Gordon studied at the Royal Academy of Music (London) and the Royal
Northern College of Music, and went on to pursue a career as a freelance
bassoon player in Scotland, performing with many of the leading Scottish
orchestras and ensembles. She now lives in her native town of Thurso, located
on the far north coast of Scotland, where her musical horizons have been
widened by a lively amateur music scene.
