Proctor (A0.809759). A more challenging work for the double bass and orchestra than the Concerto in Bb Major.  Rhythmic with interesting melodies and harmonies the Concerto in A Minor gives the soloist an opportunity to display his / her facility on the double bass while remaining interesting to a wide cross-section of listeners.  The harp plays a major roll in this work setting the harmonic background on which the bass plays over.  Set in the standard fast / slow / fast arrangement of movements in the traditional concerto format.  The approximate performance length is 15 minutes and 44 seconds.  The full range of the standard double bass is explored. Piano reduction available separately.  See my publisher page on this website.  Email to: musicbyrobertproctor@hotmail.com.

Approximately 19 minutes and 36 seconds in length.  This work explores the full range of the bass.  As in the other two concertos for bass, the harp plays a significant roll throughout the work providing a harmonic backdrop on which the basses play.  Conceived as a conversation between the two soloists, their parts interweave, calling and answering each other.  The orchestra is interwoven with the basses to add contrast and color.  The Double Concerto in B Minor should be interesting to both performer and audience.

Proctor (A0.809809). Dance Suite for Orchestra is, as the title suggests, a suite of Renaissance period dances, seven in all.  The music is a nostalgic look back with modern nuances.  The dances are: Allemande, Bourree, Galliard, Gigue, Pavane, Saltarello, and Sarabande.  Not based on any particular Renaissance composer’s work, simply an echo of music of that time.  Although it is written for full orchestra, not all instruments are used in every movement.  As in the Renaissance, each dance movement can be played separately, or, a few dances performed together without the entire suite being performed.  As such, this work is being offered as the complete suite and as individual movements.  The entire work is approximately 20 minutes and 4 seconds in length.
