This publication brings together Baroque Suite and two short pieces for unaccompanied double bass by the English composer Humphrey Clucas. Known particularly for his vocal and organ music, Humphrey has composed a wealth of music for double bass over the past twenty years which is beautifully written and instantly appealing.
Primarily written for younger bassists, his music offers musical and technical challenges in the orchestral register of the instrument, creating a body of music which emphasises the lyrical and sonorous qualities of the double bass.
