New Music for Double Bass

The Double Bass plays a significant role in many of Nigel Morgan's recent scores as both a solo instrument and as part of this composer's unique reinvention of the Baroque continuo group for the 21C. Working closely with David Langstroth (formerly of BBC National Orchestra of Wales) has resulted in a lively collection of new music featuring the bass in solo, chamber and orchestral contexts.
