Double Bass Creation of the Earth

[bassistjo]

My bass teacher told me about a song that was really good it was called the creation of the earth, I can't find it anywhere, can anyone post a link to the song or give me some more information on it.

Who's the composer?
You aren't talking about Haydn's Creation, are you?

probably referring to Darius Milhaud's La Creation du Monde (the creation of the world). very cool piece, and the opening of the 2nd part has a wicked cool jazzy arco bass solo. enjoy!

Very cool piece, I got the opportunity last year to play it with a chamber wind ensemble.

thank you for the replies but neither of them are it. He said it was a bass solo piece with a narrator

It's not likely that one exists that you can access. Buy the music and have fun! Knowing the composer, I'm sure it's hysterical. For an example of his humor check out this "composition" by him:
