Michael Montgomery: Night-Time Stories for Beginner Double Bass Trio

About the Composition Chamber music is an important element when studying a string instrument, and this collection of 12 short pieces is aimed at the beginner double bass trio. It enables young bassists to encounter chamber music from the earliest stages of study. Each piece is 16 bars long and in 4/4 time, using a limited number of note values, employing arco, pizzicato, and bass percussion. The edition enables the players to read from a score format or a separate part, and repeats can be used to increase the length of each piece. The pieces can be played by quartet or larger forces and in any setting. Table of Contents 1. Logs in the Fireplace2. Moths Bumping on the Windowpane3. Ready the Popcorn!4. A Knock at the Door5.
