Beschreibung
A Spotless Rose is originally for SSA voices and piano, is dedicated to Sarah
Poole, and was written for a charity concert on Sunday 7 December 2014. It
was subsequently arranged for voice and piano. The simple arpeggio
accompaniment creates an atmospheric web above which the soloist can weave
melodic lines and is set to a most evocative and beautiful text. The
accompaniment can be played by piano or harp and the carol is a simple and
understated setting which the composer hopes will appeal to choirs, soloists
and audiences alike. A Spotless Rose is also available for SSA choir and
piano. [RM742] A Spotless Rose for soprano and piano was premiered at
Warminster School (Wiltshire) on Saturday 6 December 2015 by Sarah Poole
(soprano) and David Heyes (piano). David Heyes studied double bass with
Laurence Gray and Bronwen Naish and later at the Royal College of Music in
London. He completed his post-graduate studies in Prague with Frantisek Posta
(Principal Double Bass, Czech Philharmonic Orchestra). He has given recitals
and masterclasses in 13 countries over the past few years and has been a
juror at a number of international competitions, twice as chairman. David
has been Specialist Double Bass Tutor at Wells Cathedral School for 17 years
and received a prestigious award from the David Walter Charitable Trust of
New York for his pioneering activities as a soloist, teacher, publisher and
commissioner of new music for double bass. He works with composers throughout
the world and is particularly interested to expand the double bass
repertoire, by commissioning new works and by rediscovering forgotten ones.
Over the past 30 years he has commissioned more than 500 works, from beginner
to virtuoso, and from one to twenty basses. David has transcribed more than
200 works for double bass, many published by Recital Music, and in recent
year has also composed a number of original works for double bass which have
been performed in Britain, America and Czech Republic. David is self-taught
as a composer and his music has been described as lyrical and accessible, but
certainly of the 21st-century. In recent years he has had premieres and
performances in Britain, America, Spain, Germany, Turkey, Venezuela, Mexico
and the Czech Republic, was a Featured Composer at Galicia Graves 2015
(Spain) and composed 'Sahara' as the imposed work for the competition. David
returns as Featured Composer and Guest of Galicia Graves 2017 and has been
commissioned to write the imposed works for both categrories in the
competition,
