Beschreibung
Organum VI was composed in November 2017 and is part of a growing series of
works for double bass. A rhythmic and exciting drone from bass 3 provides a
string backdrop against which basses 1 and 2 play antiphonally or in duet.
The music is tonal and traditional, although the moving harmonies create
tension and excitement, and the music drives forward to a strong and
successful conclusion. Bernard Salles is a past master at creating inventive
and inspired music for double bass and Organum VI is a great addition to the
bass trio repertoire. Organum VI was premiered on Sunday 3 December 2017 at
Wells Cathedral School (Somerset, UK) by Alexander Heather, Eloine Vatteville
and Jan Cowell. 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 Conservatoire of Versailles and in 1976, at the age of
22, he was awarded a double bass teaching diploma. Since then he has taught
at the Conservatoire of Pau (South-west France) and played with many major
French orchestras including the Orchestre de Paris and the National Orchestra
of France, under the direction of conductors such as Daniel Barenboim, Pierre
Boulez, Zubin 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 directed the Orchestra of Pamplona (Spain) and is currently Music
Director of the OSSO (Orchestre Symphonique du Sud-Ouest). As a composer and
member of SACEM (Society of Authors, Composers and Editors of Music), he has
written over 30 works including two symphonies, a cantata, a psalm for bass
and orchestra, a concerto for double bass and small orchestra, Rhapsody for
viola and orchestra, Triptych for orchestra, Prelude for cello and orchestra,
a symphonic poem for soprano, cello and orchestra, as well as works for
chamber groups, and for choir and organ. His pedagogic works are published by
G.Billaudot in Paris and his works for double bass are published by Recital
Music (England). In 2010 he began a series of short pieces for unaccompanied
double bass - Portraits for Friends - dedicated to his double bass playing
friends.
