The repertoire for these recitals was chosen to explore and expand the solo repertoire for the double bass. The first recital, Words and Music, incorporated new solo bass repertoire by various composers and original arrangements that also uses the voice of the performer. The second recital, Joy and Fury, adapted a piece for the five-string double bass for a four-string bass, incorporated improvisation into classical concerto cadenzas and scat-singing with a Bach cantata aria. The third recital, Songs of Transformation, adapted a cello piece for orchestra-tuning on the double bass, incorporated voice into a traditionally solo bass piece, explored multimedia additions to solo performances and brought together a collection of 20th century bass works. The innovation and creativity sought by the performer in these recitals hopes to encourage others to find new ways of performing with the double bass.
