Originally transcribed for Bass-Fest 98, this updated version for double bass octet has become a firm BIBF favourite and has been performed at Bass-Fest each year.
Two quartets work together to create one of the most joyful and exuberant of Baroque choruses andthis would make a great end to any massed bass concert. It has already been performed throughout Europe and America and utilises the entire range of the double bass with enough rhythmic invention and counterpoint to keep everyone counting!
Not one for the purists, but popular with players and audiences alike.
