I've always admired Richard Meyer and I love his music for actually making the bass a part of it instead of just being a lower cello. As a double bassist myself I always love seeing basses getting melodies and not being overlooked as much. Good piece!

I play double bass in my Freshman orchestra, in middle school I got to play a song called Moon Bass, which focused on bass section, and it was a highlight of the year

Cello Squadron for the cello player, Subterranean Dialogues for the bass player. Richard Meyer knows equality for the clefs.

I don't know exactly how to put it into words, but this piece has so many spots with fantastic polyphony and modal complexity: 0:29 - 0:45 1:35 - 1:41 especially 1:47 - 1:55 the violins contrasting with the viola at 4:00 - 4:07 is really good same thing at 4:20 (D:) - 4:27

One thing I love about Richard Meyer pieces is that he makes 3/4 not a waltz, examples include Incantations, Emerald Falcon, and this piece as well. I have a bad habit of making waltz when I compose in 3/4. So I admire him for that. 😅
@notalinglingwannabe50289 ай бұрын
The ironic thing is that the 3/4 is actually a waltz and is marked valse which is French for waltz And it’s also a pretty rare thing for Richard Meyer to use French tempo markings more are in Italian and once in a blue moon, English. Anyways, you are correct about his other pieces, having the similar time signature, but not actually being a waltz
