Description

Nessun Dorma is one of the world’s best loved opera arias which has been performed by the greatest tenors of the last hundred years. Arranged by David Heyes, it has much dramatic potential for the Double Bass, Octet with the soaring melody shared between basses 1 and 2. A rich palette of tone colours can be explored, demonstrating the lyrical and cantabile possibilities of the Double Bass, Octet, creating an orchestral palette of accompaniment against which the soloists can ‘belt out a good tune.’ This has been popular in performance with musical challenges for each player. Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) was the most successful Italian opera composer of his generation and his operas are at the very heart of the international, Repertoire almost a century after his death Turandot was Giacomo Puccini’s final opera and was left unfinished at the time of his death in 1924, completed two years later by Franco Alfano. It was premiered at La Scala in Milan on 25 April 1926 and has remained in the operatic, Repertoire to this day. Who needs an overpaid tenor when eight basses can do the job!
