Beschreibung
Composed in 1981 for his own students, Ragtime has been a very popular double
bass trio. Originally composed for progressing bassists, this new version in
a higher key enables more advancedd bassists to play music which is fun,
attractive and engaging. This is Tony Osborne at his lively, rhythmic and
jazzy best with great tunes and effective parft writing which is ideal for
bass trio or larger forces. Tony Osborne is an important educationalist and
prolific composer who has made a significant and unique contribution to the
double bass repertoire over the past 35 years. His solo music for young
bassists is included by many international examination boards, and his many
ensembles pieces are performed at workshops and concerts throughout the
world. Tony Osborne notes the influences of Gershwin, Copland and Bernstein,
alongside some of the Russian masters, on his music, which he combines with a
jazzy, rhythmic and energetic style that has been popular with players and
audiences worldwide. Born in 1947 into a musical family, Tony Osborne
studied at the Royal Academy of Music (London) with John Walton (double bass)
and Richard Stoker (composition), and divides a busy career between
composing, teaching and performing. A very prolific composer and arranger,
Tony's original compositions include works in almost every genre, notably
Chaconne Syncopations and Wainwright's Ways for brass quintet, Celebration
Fanfare for brass ensemble, the musical A Fine Time for Wine, a beautiful and
dramatic Requiem and many works for string orchestra. In 2001 Tony Osborne
was elected an ARAM (Associate of the Royal Academy of Music) for his
pioneering and important work for double bass, and has been a featured
composer at Bass-Fest for the past decade. He was a very successful BIBF
Composer-in-residence in 2002-3 and wrote a number of impressive and
innovative works for the project. He has been a judge for the British
Composer Awards over the past few years and has been a judge for the BIBF
Composition Competition since 1999. Recital Music is planning a major
festival of Tony Osborne's music in 2012, to celebrate the composer's 65th
birthday, and has formulated a 10-year project to publish all his works for
double bass. www.tony-osborne.com
