The Quintet for double basses was written for the bassist, Paul Ellison and premiered on the Isle of Man, England at the International Double bass festival on August 8, 1978. The players were all principal bassists in five major American orchestras. This explains the equality of the sometime difficult parts. Both traditional and contemporary techniques are used and the score incorporates written and spatial notation. There are moments of solos, duos, trios etc. as well as chorales. The duration is 16 minutes. This is a manuscript score, thus the reduced price.
