It has been a while…
I really have to update this thing more often. So here is what is on the stand this week, the week of January 7, 2013.
POPS Orchestra:
Akademische Festouverture – Brahms
Cavatia – Staney Meyers
Hoe-Down from Rodeo – Copland
New Hope – D. Goldflies (yup – that’s me!)
L’Ariesienne #4 Farandole – G. Bizet
Red Calvery March – Morton Gould
Die Hochzeit Des Figaro – W.A. Mozart (very cool Piece)
Francisco De Goya – Kevin Kaska
Die Moldau – B. Smetana
And a meddley from Les Miserables
For the Go Big and Go Home Band
An Elvis Presley Show to be performed at Gulf World
Other music on the stand
F.Simandl – Well, the last half of the bass method anyway starting a page 64.
Bach for the Young Bass Player
Bourree – J.S. Bach
J. Harbe – 86 Etudes for the String Bass
Nouvelle Technique De La Contrebasse Books 1 – Francois Rabbath
A big band chart for the Up Beat Big Band in Fort Walton Beach of Easy to Love with a killer unison section in the middle of it.
And finally A Contemporary Concept of bowing Technique for the Double Bass by Frederick Zimmermann.
And that is it. As you can see it is a big stand!
This first performance of the Panama City POPS 2011-2012 season will open at the Marina Civic Center with Dvorak’s New World Symphony. We had played individual movements before but this is the first time we will play all four movements. The themes in NWS are so strong an beautiful. In the adagio is a classic bass line that just scream classical bass playing. And the third movement (my favorite) is just going to be a wild ride. This is going to be very demanding but worth it!
