Tony Osborne . Scored for Violin and Double Bass, Ups & Downs! is in three contrasting movements (Catch Me If You Can/If Only.../What's It All About) for the adventurous duo. Composed for double bass in solo tuning, Ups & Downs! has been performed extensively by Catherine Lord (Vln) and David Heyes (Db), who commissioned the work, and offers musical and technical challenges for both players. A lyrical and beautiful slow movement is framed by two fast and rhythmic pieces full of forward momentum, jazz idioms, and great character. '...suitable for intermediate to advanced players and would make a terrific light-hearted complement to a recital or a casual evening of chamber readings.' (Double Bassist) '...a welcome addition to what could be a thriving genre.' (AUSTA). Performance Level: Advanced.. Grade: Advanced
