Download or read book The Double Bass Voice written by Cody Takacs and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main purpose of this book is to develop the simultaneous use of the voice while playing double bass. A significant number of works in the solo contemporary double bass repertoire (and also a small number of ensemble pieces) incorporate some sort of vocal technique, and this number is constantly growing. These pieces usually contain instructions for interpreting the vocal notation, but never has there been a guide or reference material for how to develop this technique and how to practice these works effectively. This book does NOT train the performer to be a professional opera singer or actor but rather provides only the most fundamental yet essential information required for performing this unique field of repertoire. What's inside: - Using the Voice as a Practice Aid - Vocal Tools and Techniques - Exercises and Etudes - Notation Examples In "Using the Voice as a Practice Aid," this book demonstrates how simple vocalizations can assist one's practice habits. This section also helps develop necessary coordination between using the voice and playing the instrument simultaneously. "Vocal Tools and Techniques" provides fundamental information regarding vocal techniques and methods for a non-vocally trained instrumentalist. This section also includes valuable information for preparing and performing solo double bass-voice repertoire. In "Exercises and Etudes," a series of studies in increasing difficulty divided into three categories (speaking, singing, and phonetics) is introduced to help build and prepare necessary techniques one might find in solo double bass-voice pieces. Finally, "Notation Examples" (also divided into the three aforementioned subsections) serves as a valuable tool not only for performers but also for composers. Short excerpts from several pieces in the repertoire are examined to showcase many ways in which the voice is notated in solo instrumental works.

Download or read book The Thumb Transition Zone written by Chris Kosky and published by . This book was released on 2019-06 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For intermediate and advanced bassists, The Thumb Transition Zone tackles the fingering quagmire of the middle area of the Double Bass fingerboard. This method turns awkward into easy by providing exercises and etudes that give the bassist's left hand the options needed to play effortlessly and more musically around the shoulders of the instrument. Advanced players will find a solution to fingering in this traditionally tricky part of the fingerboard, while intermediate-level bassists, those just getting near and into Thumb Position, can learn an easier way around right from the beginning.

Download or read book The Baroque Double Bass Violone written by Alfred Planyavsky and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 1998-08-06 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the nineteenth century, use of the violone, a bass instrument with many sizes and variations, was nearly eliminated from musical repertoires, and its traditional parts were parceled out to other instruments such as the violoncello. The following phases of revival of the double-bass have been hampered by a lack of physical evidence and diligent research into the historical uses of the instrument. The Baroque Double Bass Violone is a comprehensive study that examines a cross-section of standard works to enhance contemporary violone research, and provide information for musicologists, music publishers, ensemble leaders, and revivalists, all of whom have been unable to reconstruct an essential part of Baroque music. This translation finally makes the most exhaustive study of the double bass violone accessible to English-speaking musical enthusiasts. The book includes lists of terminology, the most comprehensive bibliography to date, and 48 illustrations that make this a compendium of string bass research.

Download or read book The Music of David Lumsdaine written by Michael Hooper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian by birth but a longtime resident of Great Britain, David Lumsdaine (b.1931) is central to both Australian and British modernism. During the early 1970s Australian musical modernism was at its height. Lumsdaine and his Australian contemporaries were engaged with practices from multiple places, producing music that displays the attributes of their disparate influences; in so doing they formed a new conception of what it meant to be an Australian composer. The period is similarly important in Britain, for it saw the rise to prominence of composers such as Birtwistle, Davies, Goehr, Gilbert, Wood, Cardew and many others who were Lumsdaine's contemporaries, colleagues and friends. Hooper presents here a series of analyses of Lumsdaine's compositions, focusing on works written between 1966 and 1980. At the early end of this period is Kelly Ground, for solo piano. One of Lumsdaine's first acknowledged works, Kelly Ground connects explicitly with the music of high modernism, employing ideas about temporality as espoused by Ligeti, Stockhausen and Boulez, to form a new ritual for the (now mythical) Australian outlaw Ned Kelly. Hooper places Lumsdaine's music in the context of Australian and British avant-gardes, and reveals its elegance, lyricism and technical virtuosity.
