David’s collaborative work gained him a prestigious award from the David Walter Charitable Trust of New York for his pioneering activities as a soloist, teacher, publisher, and commissioner of new music for double bass and he works with composers throughout the world to expand the double bass repertoire by commissioning new music and by rediscovering forgotten ones. Since 1983 more than 700 works have been written for him, music from one to twenty basses and from beginner to virtuoso, and he has premiered ten contemporary concertos with orchestra.
David began to compose in 2013 and has had music performed and recorded in 29 countries across five continents. He is a D’Addario Performing Artist and has recently commissioned a solo double bass from British master-luthier Martin Penning.
David Heyes writes: " Tarantella Napoletana was composed for my younger students at Wells Cathedral School (Somerset, UK) to play in 'Bottesini Bravura!' in Quilter…
Tarantella Napoletana is not difficult to rehearse and is a fun and exciting piece in performance. It sounds far more difficult than it really is and is part of as growing series of junior quartets I am composing for my progressing young students.”
The parts are carefully graded and remain within a specific ability level with accessible musical and technical challenges for each player.
