Double Bass,String Bass Solo - Digital Download SKU: A0.869582 Composed by Thomas Oboe Lee. Contemporary. Individual part. 15 pages. Thomas Oboe Lee #3583399. Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.869582). The inspiration for my Missa Pro Defunctis (2018) was Fauré's Requiem in which he ignored the fire and brimstone text of the Dies irae and Tuba mirum in the Sequence of the Requiem Mass.  And consequently he created a work that is peaceful, tranquil and uplifting.  I'd like to think of death in that way.So, I proceeded by taking the exact text that Fauré used in his work, and instead of a large chorus and full orchestra I decided to do a chamber version.  It is scored for SATB (single voices), flute, clarinet, string  quartet, double bass and harp.The movements, as in the Fauré, are:1. Introit and Requiem2. Offertory3. Santus 4. Pie Jesu5. Agnus Dei6. Libera me7. In paradisumThe entire work has a duration of ca. 27 minutes.Missa Pro Defunctis (2018) is dedicated to the residents in the Protestant Cemetery in Rome.

Double Bass,String Bass Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1322399 Composed by Humpback whales. Arranged by Alan Edgar. Contemporary. Individual part. 3 pages. Alan Edgar Ted Moon #910698. Published by Alan Edgar Ted Moon (A0.1322399). These pieces were inspired by the whales and by Leon Bosch's playing and enthusiasm. I have tried to edit or transcribe each of these two humpback whale songs for doublebass. The first is based on a youtube video Humpback Whale Orchestrated Vocalisations: Alexander Liebermann offers a notated version of this male's song which can be seen while playing the video. I could not find tonality, but there are recurring motifs with slight variations.The second song sounds more like F major moving to Bb. I tried to transcribe the early phrases of a 30-minute song recorded off Hawaii in 1998.The later sounds are less positive and I ignored them.DURATION: 4 minutes.INSTRUMENTATION: Virtuoso doublebass (extension not required).
