'In the teaching of composition the use of pastiche can be a good learning
tool. I decided to use the 'model' of the Baroque dance suite for my set of
pieces for Double Bass and Piano' [Jeffery Wilson] Dance Suite is a suite of
six short pieces for the progressing double bassist. The piano accompaniments
are accessible, playable by a teacher with some pianistic skills, and each
piece offers simple musical and technical challenges for the young bassist.
Employing a range of keys and time signatures, only employing half to fifth
position, these are ideal as study or concert repertoire. A range of
musical styles and idoms offer creative possibilities for the double bassist,
always within a lyrical and musical framework, and Dance Suite, only Jeffery
Wilson's second composition for double bass, is a welcome addition to the
junior bass repertoire. Jeffery Wilson is one of the country's foremost
composers and educators in music, especially in the field of jazz. He studied
composition at the Royal College of music with John Lambert and Herbert
Howells, later with Aladar Majorossy, Gordon Jacob and Olivier Messiaen. From
1986 until recently he was visiting lecturer in composition, improvisation
and saxophone at the Utrecht Conservatorium. He is a professor at the
Guildhall School of Music and Drama's Junior School, supervisor on the music
faculty of Cambridge University and advisor on matters Jazz and Saxophone for
Trinity Guildhall exams. He has been commissioned by dozens of top artists in
both classical and jazz fields, and a growing number of his works are
available on CD.
