Bassos Paraguayos is a lively and colourful work which is ideal for the intermediate bass quartet.
Abounding in rhythmic energy and spirit, this is …exciting and vibrant from beginning to end and suitable for any audience or occasion. Tony Osborne was a master at creating innovative and engaging pieces which demonstrate the many possibilities and great potential of the double bass quartet medium.
“Bassos Paraguayos is simply a reflection of the wonderful sounds and an array of exciting rhythms of the traditional music of Paraguay and neighbouring countries, as made popular by the group Los Paraguayos, with their colourful ponchos, hats, guitars, pipes and harp.
The piece starts at a fairly gentle pace and goes through a number of interesting rhythmic developments.” [Tony Osborne, 2005]
Bassos Paraguayos was premiered on 27 August 2005 at the Saint Claud Music Festival in France by David Heyes, Pauline Vos, Ben Groenevelt and James Adolpho. It has subsequently been played in Poland, America and the UK.
