Beschreibung
Theo's Lullaby for double bass and piano is a little piece written for my
grandson Theo in memory of his great-great uncle who was a fine musician, and
also called Theo. The left hand of the piano part has a gently rocking
pattern throughout with the double bass finding its voice half way through
the piece as it changes from accompanying pizzicato to a lyrical arco line.'
(Sadie Harrison) Theo's Lullaby for 2 double basses and piano was completed
on 26 January 2013 and was premiered at Wells Cathedral School on Sunday 24
February 2013 by Richard Dunn (double bass), David Heyes (double bass) and
Sadie Harrison (piano). The higher obbligato line was written for David
Heyes, and added to the beginner double bass part and the contrasts between
the two basses works beautifully creating another exquisite work from this
internationally renowned composer. Sadie Harrison was born in Adelaide,
Australia, moving to England in 1970 where she undertook composition studies
with Nicola Lefanu gaining her Phd at Kings College, London. Sadie's music
has been played internationally in venues such as the Sydney Opera House,
