Beschreibung
This edition includes two versions of 'A Fanfare for Friends' - 3 Trumpets &
Timpani or 3 Trumpets - both are based on the same material but are slightly
different. 'A Fanfare for Friends' is dedicated to Patricia & Ian Stewart to
celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary. The celebratory feel was described
by a young trumpeter as 'a very fanfarey fanfare' and lasting around 1'11 the
piece is bright, triumphal and full of energy. The fanfare effects are
contrasted by a syncopated theme and the effect should be on of joy and
exultation. The composer suggests the version for 3 trumpets and timpani
could be played by larger forces, possibly 9 trumpets and two sets of timpani
with the syncopated passages played by fewer trumpets to contrast the more
martial figures. 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 19 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, Venezuela, Turkey, Australia, Ecuador, Ireland, Spain,
Mexico, Germany and Czech Republic. David is self-taught as a composer and
his music has been described as lyrical, evocative and accessible, but
certainly of the 21st-century. See
