Beschreibung
These two bass arias by G.F. Handel have been newly arranged for double bass
by David Heyes. Each offers a range of musical and technical challenges for
the good intermediate bassist, with lively and evocative accompaniments for
both solo and orchestral tunings. Revenge, Timotheus Cries is from
'Alexander's Feast' and is a lively and energetic aria in C major. Abounding
in scale and arpeggio figures, it makes use of low thumb position, also using
the lower register to good effect, and would make an accessible recital or
study piece for any bassist of about Grade 8 standard. Behold the Monstrous
Beast is taken from 'Belshazzar' and a heroic and dramatic approach will
produce a convincing and successful performance. There are technical
challenges in the orchestral range of the double bass, going no higher than
low thumb position, and would make a useful recital or study piece for any
bassist of about Grade 8 standard. Neither piece is too difficult for any
adventurous bassist who has some technical skills on the G string and into
low thumb position. The arias transcribe well for double bass and are a
useful addition to the transcription repertoire. This edition includes piano
accompaniments for both solo and orchestral tunings.
