Charles Gounod Ed: David Heyes . Originally for solo piano or orchestra, this evocative miniature 'tone poem' transcribes well for double bass quartet and has great character and energy. There are some technical challenges, primarily for Bass 1, but also scope to explore musical and fun soundworlds and to create a musical story for any audience or occasions. The programmatic storyline is included to help characterise the music and this would be ideal for the good intermediate quartet looking for something lively and fun with effective musical and technical challenges for each player.. Performance Level: 6;8.. Grade: 6 - 8
