Double Bass My music for bass ensemble

[Simon Garcia]

Dear friends,
My name is Simon Garcia, I´m a Spanish bassist and composer.
I would like to announce a new agreement that I had recently with Recital Music about my music for bass ensemble.

The Bass in Spain
Recital Music is pleased to have recently signed a new publishing agreement with the talented young Spanish bassist-composer Simon Garcia. The agreement includes publishing his extensive back catalogue of works for double bass ensemble, and all his future works for the instrument.
Born in Mugardo (Spain) in 1977, Simon Garcia is quickly establishing an international reputation as a composer who can 'deliver the goods'. His works for double bass quartet have been performed in Mexico, Venezuela, Uruguay, Denmark, Spain, Japan, Italy, Austria, Germany, Canada, USA and UK by leading bassists and ensembles including The Bass Gang, Barry Green, Andres Martin, Damian Arenas, Alberto Bocini, Diego Zecharies, Kristin Korb, Ernst Weissensteiner, Bass Instinct, Il Quint-etto, Antonio Romero Cienfuegos, Thomas Martin, Jeremy Kurtz and The Bass Monsters.
Simon Garcia's music is characterised by a string rhythmic momentum allied to a lively a evocative melodic material, often inspired by his native Spain and the popular styles and idioms of the 21st-century. Simon Garcia is a new and exciting voice in today's bass world.

Works to be published in 2013 include:
Concertino No.1 for solo double bass and bass quartet

Thanks for your kinds words rgarcia26!!
"Chinese dance" is mine, too. I wrote for a Bass fest in Spain last year and It´s a piece where all bassists, beginers and advanced, can play together.

About "Californian duett" I just wrote a second part "The Origins" will be available son!!

'The Origins is the second part of my Californian Duett, both works inspired by rock music but in very different ways, and I thought about the origins of rock music as I composed it.

The introduction describes how the slaves are brought to the New World from Africa in enormous galleys, with many dying during the journey. The sound of the traditional slave meetings, playing drums in ancestral rituals, will eventually be mixed with the sounds and music of Old Europe.

I tried to write a piece for two double basses that is not like a conventional duo. In the first part of Californian Duett I wrote a melody, bass line and harmony-rhythm parts in two voices, using the entire range of the instruments.

The Origins is dedicated to Andrés Martín and Jeremy Kurtz.
