Beschreibung
The Double Bass Ballade is dedicated to American contemporary bassist Robert
Black and was completed on 19 June 1991. In one extended movement, lasting
around eight minutes, the piece employs and explores a range of textural and
timbral colours and effects throughout the entire range of the double bass.
Contemporary, classical, jazz and improvisation idioms combine to create a
magical work which demonstrates the many performance techniques available to
the contemporary composer. Teppo Hauta-aho writes in a modern but
essentially lyrical idiom, combining musical and technical challenges in
equal measure, producing a work which would be intriguing for audiences. The
piece is episodic, maintaining variety and interest, and opens with a short
theme, which the composer has used in a number of previous works, but which
develops and extends into new vistas and musical landscapes. The open and
vast picturesque landscapes of the composers native Finland is encapsulated
in music which is open, expansive and atmopsheric.
