Humphrey Clucas . [For vocal score, see RM075]. A rare work of lyrical beauty for SATB choir and double bass octet, also playable with bass octet. The style is accessible and melodic, offering few challenges, but producing a work described as 'spellbinding' at its premiere. The rhythmic and driving bass lines contrast the more chordal and static choral writing. The vocal scores (RMS010) are published separately. Humphrey Clucas is particularly known for his choral music but has also written a number of impressive and accessible works for double bass in recent years.. Performance Level: 6;8.. Grade: 6 - 8
