About this arrangement

Double Bass,Piano,String Bass - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1382790 Composed by Juliette Marie Olga (Lili) Boulanger. Arranged by Graham Boag. 20th Century,Chamber,Classical. Score and part. 15 pages. Graham Boag #967218. Published by Graham Boag (A0.1382790). Originally composed for Violin and Piano I have transcribed and arranged these for Double Bass in Orchestral tuning aiming them towards the advanced intermediate/advanced student. Lili Boulanger was the sister of the famous teacher Nadia Boulanger who taught Aaron Copland, Elliott Carter and Philip Glass amongst others. She was a composer for the last 10 years of her tragically short life – she died at 25. Her music was highly influenced by Faure and Debussy. The Nocturne begins sparsely, with bare octave figures wound about with a theme built from a repetitive rise-and-fall figure. As the texture becomes thicker the violin becomes more virtuosic and begins to climb. There is no harmonic resolution until the final ppp note in the top register, which is answered by a low octave from the piano. The Cortege is more lively without being fast. Shifting rhythmic accents, tricky runs and contrasting dynamics make this an exciting piece.
