Simón García writes: “Finland is a beautiful country where people are still closely related to nature. One of the atmospheric phenomena that fascinates …me are the Northern Lights.
People can spend hours looking at the sky as if bewitched, this magical effect is what I try to describe in this small pizzicato work. Northern Lights is a reworking of Polar Lights, composed for Teppo-Fest 2016 and originally for unaccompanied double bass, also for Double Bass, Duet, and has been extended and developed retaining a simple and evocative serenity which captures the magic and mystery of the northern lights in all their beauty and majesty.
Polar Lights was the first version and was composed for Bass-Fest 2016 to celebrate the 75th birthday of the legendary Finnish bassist-composer Teppo Hauta-aho. It was commissioned by David Heyes, originally a one-minute piece for unaccompanied double bass and the middle movement of Three for Teppo, published by Recital Music. David liked the piece so much that he asked the composer to extend the piece and create a version for Double Bass, Duet.”
