for two double basses with two scores.
Lament for O. was composed
in memory of bassist Ovidiu Badila. Arco and Pizzicato contrast in this
blues-like work, consisting of one movement. An extended pizzicato
cadenza for bass 2 will appeal to players comfortable in classical and
jazz styles. There are many contrasting moods and sections with high
legato melodies above a jazzy pizzicato accompaniment.
»Lament for O. is an impressive work combining elements of classical and jazz with echoes of folk styles and improvisation.«
