Christopher Field has a lifetime’s experience of singing and teaching stretching back to 1953 when he was a chorister at the coronation of HM Queen Elizabeth II. Later he won a choral exhibition to Trinity College, Cambridge, a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music and an Arts Council of Great Britain award for postgraduate study with Frederick Husler in Switzerland.

His subsequent career as a schoolmaster at Dulwich College was combined with work as a concert baritone, choral conducting, and teaching singing and double bass. For many years a number of his teaching works have been included in the graded examination syllabuses of the leading examination boards.

Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso is a fun and vibrant piece for the developing young bassist and would be ideal for both study and concert use. The opening introduction has a dark and brooding quality, emphasising the lower register of the double bass in slow and dramatic music, with an effective chordal accompaniment.

The Rondo Capriccioso is fast and lively, with a strong rhythmic momentum which drives through a number of keys before returning to the original melody which powers to a strong and successful conclusion. The music has drive and momentum, would make a fun final piece in a concert or as an encore, and offers much to the young intermediate bassist.

“A bold opening statement is followed by a light-hearted rondo in which the lightly- bowed theme is set off by contrasting cantabile interludes.” [Christopher Field]

Only available for orchestral tuning.
