Pr
ogramme Note:
As
a young professional
player in the 1960s, my
work as a double bassist
with chamber ensembles
and small orchestras took
me all over the world.
This presented an
unparalleledopportunity
to scour libraries and
archives wherever I went.
Long before the advent of
the photocopier and
e-mail, research was far
more challenging than it
is today. Eastern Europe
was particularly
difficult to access,
withmanycollections kept
under lock and key for
all but a few hours a
week. One quickly found
colleagues who were keen
to share information
gleaned in passing, even
though they had no
specific interest in
one's own
particularspecialism (it
is so often the
peripheral topics that
fascinate as much as the
main subject under
investigation, and one
can quickly be
side-tracked into
political and social
issues that have only
slender bearing on the
job inhand!).
In
the early 1970s James
Brown, the then
sub-principal oboist of
the English Chamber
Orchestra with whom I was
working at the time,
stumbled across a small
collection of double bass
manuscripts at the
RoyalDanish State Library
in Copenhagen. They were
by Franz Anton Leopold
Keÿper (b. c.1756, d.
Copenhagen 7 June 1815),
a double bassist of Dutch
origin who worked as
principal of the Royal
Chapel Orchestra in
Copenhagen.Keÿper's son
was the bassoonist Franz
Jacob August Keÿper
(1792-1859). The
collection included a
number of concertos, some
chamber music, and
various naïve fragments.
Although hardly the work
of a Mozart or Haydn,the
style is characteristic
of the period. For an
instrument such as the
double bass, whose 18th
century solo repertoire
is largely written for
tunings that are no
longer in everyday use,
Keÿper's music is easily
approachablein its.

Songs are
part of the childhood.
This collection aims to
offer a variety of songs
for string ensembles,
such as young string
orchestras or string
classes. Included are
older and newer songs,
songs of various origins,
and songs for different
occasions and with themes
ranging from animals to
seasons and times of day
to tongue-in-cheek scary
subjects.Taking up the
motif of diversity in
their own way, the
six-part arrangements are
not confined to the usual
cadence harmonies and
accompaniment forms,
There is something
special to discover in
each of the songs. Small
vignettes with lyrics to
them are found in the
parts, and can be taken
up in rehearsals and
lessons.The songs begin
with fingering positions
and bowing techniques
that are usually learned
at the beginning of
lessons, then gradually
increase in difficulty,
though the booklet as a
whole is set at the
elementary level.
Suggestions for
improvisation and pieces
for practicing certain
requirements round out
the booklet. Special
emphasis is placed on
playing together - true
to the title: Together on
Strings!
