Bernard Salles writes: 'Organum 1' for double bass and organ (or double bass
trio) was written for Marc Antonio Quiñones, double bassist with the
Orchestra of Mexico. It?s a small piece that uses a very old musical form,
the 'organum', a melody (almost plainchant) which develops over one or
several held notes. Here, over held D octaves, we find the 5th (A), then the
7th (C) followed by the minor 6th (B flat) played on the organ. Over this
obstinato unfolds a long melody on the double bass, whose ambitus grows as
the piece develops, eventually forming a complete circle to end where it
began. Variations on the initial theme of this piece will be written at a
later date. 'Organum 1' was premiered by its dedicatee on 15 June 2016 in
the Hermilo Novelo Room (Ollin Yoliztli Cultural Centre, Mexico)' The version
for double bass trio was premiered by Alexander Heather, David Heyes and Jan
Cowell at Wells Cathedral School (Wells, Somerset) on Friday 10 March 2017.
Bernard Salles was born in 1954 and began his musical education in his home
town of Perpignan (France) where he studied double bass, organ, composition
and orchestral conducting at the Conservatoire. In 1973 he want to the

Metha and Lorin Maazel. In 1983 he began a parallel career as a conductor
and was Music Director of the Orchestra of Pau from 1996-2001. He has
