Complete Orchestral Parts

Does anyone know where I can find books containing the complete double bass parts for the various composers? For example, I have at home a few that I bought years ago (Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Dvorak, etc.) but I need to add a few more composers to my collection. However, I can't find these doggone things anymore.

You're probably looking for the Zimmerman complete double bass parts. There's something like 17 volumes. You can buy them on Lemur.

Thanks! The Zimmermans would work fine. I had looked on Lemur but the way they've got things organized I couldn't find them or anything like them. However, I just did a search on their site for Zimmerman and found at least a few of them.

Yeah, looks like Lemur's running out of those books. I ordered the Bach book a month ago, and it's still on back order.

Orchestra Bass Parts

There is a series of of CDROM's put out by CD Sheet Music, LLC called "The Orchestra Musician's CD-ROM Library". All the parts on each CD are in pdf format and can be printed out on 8 1/2" x 11" paper on most any computer printer. The contents of each CD are typically grouped by composers. For example volume VI has all the Mozart and Haydn parts, volume I has Beethoven, Schubert Mendelssohn, Berlioz and so on. They are a little expensive ($20 per CD) but there is a lot of parts in each CD and you can end up with a large collection of bass parts by buying just a few CD's. You can check them out at: www.orchmusiclibrary.com
