Ideal as both study or concert repertoire, these two short dances are lyrical and engaging, offering ideal ensemble music for the intermediate trio. Both are in waltzstyles, are tonal and traditional, and were composed in 2006. Simple and direct, with scope for characterisation and interpretation, these should appeal to players of all ages. There are few technical challenges but much to enjoyfor players and audiences alike. Humphrey Clucas is known primarily for his choral music but has written a number of impressive works for double bass. He writes in a traditional and tonal style producing music which is accessible to performers and audiences alike and Recital Music publish a range of his music for double bass.
