U.F.O.’s Dance is a wonderfully inventive and magical work for the adventurous bass trio with technical and musical challenges for each player. Contemporary influences contrast with Latin-American idioms to produce a lively, rhythmic and exciting work full of energy and great forward momentum.
There is much to enjoy and explore and the sound worlds are typical of Teppo Hauta-aho, encompassing a wide range of evocative and atmospheric textures throughout the range of the double bass. U.F.O.?s Dance has been very successful in performance.
“…a successful piece. For the majority of the work the 3rd part maintains a Latin- style bass line, over which the other two play lyrically.” (Double Bassist)
UFO’s Dance was premiered in Helsinki by the Töölö Bass Trio, who commissioned the work, and it received its UK premiere at Bass-Fest 2001 performed by David Heyes, Peter Leerdam and Teppo Hauta-aho.
