Beschreibung
Arranged by David Heyes for double bass quartet, this publication includes
two versions of Basse Dance - for intermediate and also for advanced quartet
- both are in score format. Pierre Attaingnant (c.1494-1551/52) was a French
music publisher, active in Paris, and became the first music publisher to
achieve mass production. He published more than 1,500 chansons by different
composers and was the king's music printer from 1537-47. Basse Dance is in
one movement with two optional repeats which can used to feature a range of
dynamics and even playing styles. They are playable by massed basses, with
the possibility to feature a solo quartet at times, and the addition of
dynamics can create a unique performance every time. Vibrato can be employed
as one colour contrasted by passages played without vibrato and each ensemble
should experiment to develop the many tonal and timbral possibilities of the
double bass quartet. David Heyes has arranged several hundred ensembles for
double bass, many for Bass-Fest and one-day workshops, which include all
levels of performer. Basse Dance was transcribed for a workshop in Exeter
(UK) in 2014 with the bowings and part distribution carefully arranged to
suit a specific ability level.
