Baroque Suite

Although known primarily for his choral music, Humphrey Clucas has written a number of successful works for double bass and his lively and easy going compositional style has been popular with players and teachers alike. Aimedat the good intermediate bassist (Grade 6/7), this suite is similar to the Bach Cello Suite format and consists of a Prelude followed by a set of dance-movements. Written in a lively and approachable style, there are effectivemusical and technical challenges within the orchestral register and these would be ideal as both study and concert music. Baroque Suite was premiered by Eloise Riddell during Bass-Fest (2009) at Wells Cathedral School
