Scherzo for Double Bass and String Orchestra/String Quartet  ‘Tembo’

The bass instruments are sometimes overlooked when it comes to solo repertoire so ‘Tembo’ is a fun piece designed to feature the bass.

This arrangement for bass and string orchestra/string quartet allows the bass to shine over the whole range of the instrument in a playful way as indicated by the term Scherzo.

D. Bass soloist
1st Violin
2nd Violin
Viola
