Sir Edward Elgar Ed: David Heyes . Arranged for double bass quartet by David Heyes, this poignant and evocative Elegy was composed in 1909, between the two symphonies and at the height of Elgar's compositional powers. Transposed a semitone lower than the original - now in D major - this is a slow and atmospheric work which transcribes well for double bass quartet. There are some challenges, using quite a wide range of the double bass, and would be ideal for the adventurous quartet. Musical and technical challenges in equal measure.. Performance Level: 8;Advanced.. Grade: 8 - Advanced
