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.

Born in Oxford
in 1917, Francis Baines
was a well-known and much
respected professional
double bass player. He
studied at the Royal
College of Music in
London with Claude
Hobday, where he later
taught. Something of an
eccentric,he immersed
himself in early music at
a time when few people
were taking it seriously.
He owned a beautiful
Amati bass that he had
restored as a violone,
which it probably was
originally, and he was a
regular fixture as
aprincipal player in a
number of orchestras and
ensembles that dedicated
themselves to period
performing, including
those directed by Denys
Darlow, with whom he
broadcast and recorded
frequently.
Besi
des playing
thedoublebass, Francis
Baines was an exponent of
the treble viol and led
the Jaye Consort of Viols
which he founded. He also
played several kinds of
bagpipe and the
hurdy-gurdy. As a
composer he dabbled in
many styles, one of
hisgreatest claims to
fame being that of
writing for the popular
Hoffnung concerts in the
1960s.
He was
the author of a number of
papers about the history
of the double bass,
sometimes arriving at
scholarly conclusionsthat
were colourful, if not
always entirely accurate.
He discovered the
Giovannino del Violone
sonatas, subsequently
published by Yorke
Edition, although today
it is thought that they
were probably not written
for a 16' pitchinstrument
at all. His edition of
the Capuzzi double bass
concerto, published by
Boosey & Hawkes, was for
many years one of the few
solo works available for
the instrument. This,
however, he largely
re-composed because
hethought it could be
improved: towards the end
of his life he confessed
that with hindsight he
probably should have
treated it
differently.
Gro
unds was written in 1969
as a sort of party piece
and was given to
YorkeEdition in support
of a drive to enlarge the
repertoire for the
instrument in a wide
variety of styles. It was
set on the syllabus of
the Associated Board of
the Royal Schools of
Music for many
years.

The
Not-Doings of an
Insomniac - Partita for
Solo Double Bass with
spoken texts - was
premiered by Robert Black
at the International
Society of Bassist
Convention at the Griffin
Concert Hall in Fort
Collins, Colorado. The
Not-Doings of an
Insomniac developed as a
result of Philip Glass's
frequent travels to
unfamiliar cities and
different time-zones,
changes that often bring
on bouts of insomnia.
While on a trip in Europe
in 2015, Glass decided to
turn these redundant
waking hours into
something useful, and one
of the results is this
Partita for Solo Double
Bass, written for Robert
Black of Bang on a Can
All-Stars fame. The piece
is written in seven
movements, each with its
own title: Not Dreaming,
Tasting, Smelling,
Hearing, Seeing, Touching
respectively, and
finishing with Not
Beginning. Not Ending.
What raises this set into
something atmospheric and
theatrical are the poems
in between each movement.
These are by Glass's
friends or associates,
and the texts by Lou
Reed, John Cale, Laurie
Anderson, Yoko Ono, David
Byrne, Leonard Cohen,
Patti Smith and Arthur
Russell are read on the
recording of this work by
Robert Black.

The
popularity of Faure's
Pavane is mostly
attributed to its many
arrangements but the
original version for
orchestra is being
published here for the
first time. Shortly after
completing the orchestral
work, Faure began work on
a version for choir,
which was actually
premiered before the
orchestral
version.
This new
Barenreiter edition
offers conductors and
orchestras a reliable
Urtext edition of the
Pavane's original
orchestral version which
will surely enhance
symphonic concert
programmes
everywhere.
