Description

An Old Song by Miloslav Gajdos is in a traditional and tonal style, emphasising the sonorous and cantabile qualities of the double bass. The Chorale-style …idiom and slow moving chords adds an old world charm and style to a work which is beautifully sincere and effective in performance. This edition includes a score parts for two versions – the original key (B minor) and a revised edition (G minor). An Old Song, originally for Double Bass Quartet, is also available for cello, bassoon or trombone quartet. “I really enjoyed the madrigal-type feel and suspended diatonic harmonies.” (Bass News)
“Light and dancing, An Old Song would work extremely well as a concert opener.”
