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. Aimed at 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 effective musical 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

Studies for Bass - Based on the Violin Studies of Franz Wohlfahrt-The goal of Mastering The Bow Part 1 is to help bassists expand their tonal vocabularies: to learn to make a wide variety of colours and shapes with music. The left hand makes no sound; it is the bow that creates articulations rhythms and rises and falls within a phrase. Using the famous Franz Wohlfahrt Studies for Violin as the basis Gaelen McCormick has selected and edited these etudes to teach and reinforce bowing techniques for the bass. Quite simply there is no other book out there for string bass players that addresses bow technique in this manner and Mastering the Bow will greatly enhance the pedagogical repertoire for theinstruction of the bass. All bassists should have this as part of their study materials. For beginning to intermediate players.
