Double Bass Orchestra music

[mcnaire2004]

It's a couple of weeks till the first rehearsal of the year. I have played the music periodicly but havn't hit them hard since the CYS workshop last June. It's nothing to hard a few tricky parts but nothing I can't handle. I am just curios if anyone here has played them. If so what styles on how I should play ect... Here's the list:

Danse Macabre (Saint-Saens)
Scheherazade (N. Rimsky-Korsakow)
Ma Mere L'oye (Maurice Ravel)
Overture Der Freischutz (C.M. von Weber)
Sinfonische Meamorphosen (Paul Hindemith)
Romeo et Julietto. Ouverture- Fantaisie (P. Tschaikowsky)
Harry Potter Symphonic Suite (John Williams)

Of course they'll throw some more stuff on us in a few weeks.

I have played Romeo and Juliette, and it's just like other Tchaicovsky Overture's, it has difficult passages, but nothing to be scared off!

The Hindemith has some nice bass licks in it, Scheherazade shouldn't be that big of a problem and the Tchaikovsky will be marginally difficult. No comment on Harry Potter.

I love Sinfonische because the basses actualy have a melody.

I love it because of that trombone solo. So good...
