The composer’s main instrument in college was the string bass which he studied under David Whisner at the University of Idaho and Murray Grodner at Indiana University, graduating in 1964.
The Double Bass Concerto #1 (Total Time = 20:26 minutes:seconds) is available for solo bass and piano and solo bass and string orchestra. The plan is to arrange it also for full orchestra and solo bass.
The Double Bass Concerto #1 has three movements. The first movement 10:38 minutes long begins in the key of g minor with a classical style Theme A melody played by the orchestra, and repeated by the solo bass. There is a four bar orchestral transition melody followed by the bass playing Theme B, a romantic sounding melody, which is echoed by the orchestra. A choral type Theme C is played by the bass, echoed by the orchestra, while the bass plays grand arpeggios.
Theme D of the first movement consists of a two-part fugue reminiscent of Johann Sebastian Bach. Theme E maintains the Bachian feel, but without the counterpoint, as the bass and orchestras take turns playing the melody as the other playing the accompaniment. Theme F is introduced as a rollicking melody which transitions into a round evolving into another traditional romantic melody Theme G introduced by the bass and repeated by the orchestra.
The solo bass then plays a cadenza which introduces variations on some of the themes already played and some new material, as well.
The orchestra resumes playing eventually with a new Theme H. As the theme continues the string bass joins in with a descant melody. struggling with the orchestra for dominance. After a tug of war for attention, the bass wins the struggle for dominance, introducing a bold Theme I melody. The orchestra meekly follows with a theme J, repeated by the solo bass. Theme A leads us towards the climactic ending of the first movement.

The Double Bass Concerto #1 (Total Time = 20:26 minutes:seconds) is available for solo bass and piano and solo bass and string orchestra. The plan is to arrange it also for full orchestra and solo bass.
The second movement is 05:09 minutes long. It is a slow movement beginning with Theme A which is a more contemporary sounding melody. Theme B consists of two bar phrases, echoed by the orchestra which eventually unites as both sections play two bar melodic phrases together.
Theme B is a pizzicato section. It begins with a complex melody in the bass with triplets and sixteenth notes in the bass and pizzicato quarter notes in the accompaniment. Theme C returns us to a lugubrious melody played by the orchestra and repeated by the bass. ending the second movement.

The composer’s main instrument in college was the string bass which he studied under David Whisner at the University of Idaho and Murray Grodner at Indiana University, graduating in 1964.
The Double Bass Concerto #1 (Total Time = 20:26 minutes:seconds) is available for solo bass and piano and solo bass and string orchestra. The plan is to arrange it also for full orchestra and solo bass.
The third movement is 04:39 minutes long. It is an allegro 6/8 rhythm. The bass begins by introducing the dramatic Theme A melody, paraphrased in a transition by the orchestra to Theme B, which is a cat and mouse game of tag between the orchestra and solo bass. This in turns transitions into a fast romantic Theme C played in the upper fingerboard area of the bass with flowing arpeggios in the accompaniment. A frenetic syncopatic transition leads us back to a brief reintroduction of Theme A which transitions into a new romantic Theme Repeated by the orchestra.
The entire Theme A is repeated again, followed by the bass playing a new Theme D which is a dramatic melody that clips along at a rapid pace. The bass plays a variation of Theme D in the upper fingerboard which evolves into a transition melody consisting of the bass playing tag with the orchestra for a while, then repeating a frantic 6/8 rhythm in a brief round which transitions into a dramatic ending featuring plenty of diminished downward and upward spiraling arpeggios leading to a dramatic conclusion of the concerto.
