'Thank you for Dindirin, Dindirin! We played it as a septet last night in the
Wigan strings concert and it went down a treat. Very effective and we all
loved working on it.' [Gemma Ashcroft] The composer of Dindirin, Dindirin is
unknown, but one opinion is that it is by Mateo Flecha el Viejo and set to an
anonymous 15th-century Spanish text. It transcribes well for double bass
quartet, also playable by larger forces, and would work well with an added
percussion accompaniment. David Heyes created the edition for the Bristol
Bass Club (B.B.C.), founded in March 2015 by David Heyes and Ben Groenevelt,
and the four bass parts are aimed at specific ability levels. A range of
performance styles create a wealth of 16th-century soundworlds including
arco, pizzicato, sul ponticello, col legno and Bartok pizzicato. Bass 1 has
most of the melodic material in and ventures into low thumb position with
simple but effective harmonics to add height and a different texture to the
ensemble. Bass 2 is an important part which links the melody with the lower
bass parts and features work across the middle positions, with a few simple
harmonics thrown in for good measure. Bass 3 goes no higher than 3rd
position and is an important part which adds to the textures and harmonies,
well supporting the lowest part. Bass 4 remains in 1st position throughout
with the addition of Bartok pizzicato which has echoes of Biber's Battaglia.
The edition includes a score and parts.
