No basses?! That's a shame. Hopefully you can recruit a few soon. 🎶

The hero's theme.

😊

Du, du bist der Mensch!

@@JeremyMcCoydoublebassist Fanget an!

@@ColonelFredPuntridge 🎶🎶

But not tense - I hope! 😄

Sir, you are a virtuoso! 😂

@@JeremyMcCoydoublebassist thanks, I had fun typing it! 😉 This was my competition piece in high school; my flute teacher always made me sing everything I played, and I remember singing something to that effect.. it actually came in handy when I started playing bagpipes later; pipers are expected to be able to improvise nonsense words to express "light music", and study an entirely unique musical language for the "heavy music (piobaireachd).

@@giuseppelogiurato5718 Is that "canntaireachd"? I had to look this stuff up, of course! Interesting.

@@JeremyMcCoydoublebassist yes! It's not puirt a beul, but more like solfege, where the vowels represent relative tones and the consonants are articulations/embellishments, but it also indicates precise technique ... It was originally an oral tradition, but it eventually got written down in various ways... My roommate found a page of it written-out in my handwriting once and thought I was worshipping Satan or something! (I guess it sounds really creepy if you read it in monotone without knowing the idiom) "Hiendro darado hodin, Che o cheve edre, Hihiodrodin..." etc The only thing similar I've found is in Hindustani/Carnatic musical tradition,: with "sa,re,ga,ma,pa,dha,ni" and the rhythmic "konnakol" system, although Scottish bagpipe music does have a lot of "leftover" baroque attributes (highly ornamented, very rigidly structured, exaggeratedly emotional, but extremely specific in "mood/effekt/emotion".)

@@JeremyMcCoydoublebassist ua-cam.com/video/D16Ezmli-FM/v-deo.htmlsi=J-oCeMURFXEddKcr this guy sings the first line of the "ground" to a famous tune... It doesn't "mean" anything except sounds; they are not lyrics... But, every sound MEANS something; to pipers at least. It is very interesting. Here is the same tybe explained in a very typically tedious Scottish manner with the practice chanter... it's pretty different from "do, re, mi", no? ua-cam.com/video/K1OBIbT9tGU/v-deo.htmlsi=WE5QazZ_W2HkzGDO

A genius of the highest order. Thanks, Jeff.

Grazie mille, Pasquale. :)

Thank you. for how many years I have been a double bass player at the real San Carlo theater in Naples I have met many professors who play this instrument but not as good as you. I would be happy to become your friend. Do you have a contact on Facebook? let me know and congratulations again. Pasquale

@@pasqualemaddaluno6159 Wow - that is a beautiful and historic theater! Very nice to meet you, Pasquale. I was on Facebook for awhile when the pandemic hit but I gave it up some time ago. Please send a message to the email contact listed on my channel details and we can trade more information. Thanks, J

Would have been perfect for "Romance with a Double Bass"! Actually, I should watch that again and see if there is a Dragonetti waltz included. Check that out Jeff - John Cleese in 1974. Based on a story by Chekhov. 😂

I will

Thanks, Joel - glad you enjoyed it!

Grazie mille. 🙂

Thanks, Geoff! Enjoying it down here. Come visit!

Thank you and thanks for listening!

Hi Gregg - thanks!

Thanks

Thanks, Bennett! 👋

Awesome! Thanks for listening and sharing, Stephanie! 👋

Thank you so much, Kostas!

Glad you enjoyed it, Angela! 🙂

Thanks for listening! 🙏

Thanks, Peter! 🙂

I didn't spend much time on it but I did spread that time out over a few days so I had time to think about I'd like to play it. Tempo, bowing etc.

Thanks for listening, Kevin!

@@JeremyMcCoydoublebassist you're welcome Jeremy....I have the music to that, so i will take a look at it.

Thank you! 🙂 That's a good idea. Will take a look for a passage that would be the right length for a short.

@@JeremyMcCoydoublebassist Thank you very much!

Thank you, Andrew!

Hi Jeff! Thank you!

The core concepts of string playing apply across all string instruments. I have tried to model my own playing after what I observed in the playing of my favorite cellists and violinists. Thank you for this nicely phrased compliment! :)

It's a sort of biographical retrospective that contains themes from all his previous tone poems. Heldenleben has several very difficult passages and this one, the dreaded #9, is on pretty much every symphonic double bass audition list. Out of all the Strauss tone poems, my personal favorite is an earlier one, Death and Transfiguration.

​@@JeremyMcCoydoublebassistWoW I agree, death and trans runs for the greatest instrumental work by Ricardo, along Alpine and Quijote

Hey, Bennett! Thank you! 👋

Thanks!! Solo-wise, there are two albums (2004/5 and 2012 CD releases) on Spotify.

Yes, a couple of solo albums and probably a bunch of other chamber ensemble stuff that would be harder to find. I don't listen there so don't really know. :)

Hi, Matteo! 👋 Thanks so much! We have moved to San Antonio, in southern Texas. "Everything is bigger in Texas". Place must be rubbing off on me already! 😂

@@JeremyMcCoydoublebassist eheheh well spotted😁 It must be as hot as in Qatar over there, right?

@@matteogaspari1979 Highs in hottest weeks are about the same. We had a stretch of 11 days peaking over 100F - hottest day hit 108 (42.2). I think the winter averages are cooler than Qatar but, yep, it's warm. 🕶 So far, the heat hasn't come with high humidity - like NYC.

@@JeremyMcCoydoublebassist I see, it's a proper dry climate. Dangerous for the instrument though! Here it's hot and humid because of the persian gulf.

@@matteogaspari1979 It's not dry like the southwest desert states nor always humid, being well inland from the gulf coast. I'm told there are only 2 or 3 winter weeks when you might need to run a humidifier. It's a big state so the climate in other parts is probably a lot different.

Thanks, Louis! Let me know if the group tours to San Antonio. 👋

Thanks, Kevin! Hope you are doing well. We have moved to San Antonio. It's been a super busy stretch with that so, yes, I haven't posted in awhile. 👋

@@JeremyMcCoydoublebassist hey Jeremy...all is good here.... looking forward to seeing you post again.

Спасибо!

Glad you like this short! Don't decide you can't learn to do the same, though. 💪

Thank you! Top three are Original Flatchrome and the extended E is a Passione (stark).

🎤🎶🙂

Hey, Ryan! Thanks for tuning in!

Thank you for listening, Ricardo! :)

Thanks, Steve! Feels good landing here.

That's it! The stroke is a bit off the string at this tempo - and with all the string crossings.

Thanks! Will do!

Hi Stephanie. Thanks so much! 👋

Thanks for listening!!

☕️☕️👋

Thanks, Gregory!!

I recorded the 2004 score. No licks so went with Beethoven. 😂

Hey, Peter! 👋 Thank you!
