Gemma Dyer: Serenity for double bass & guitar

About the Composition

Serenity is a beautifully lyrical and evocative one-movement work, exploiting the dark and sonorous qualities of the double bass across its middle register contrasting a gently moving and constantly evolving guitar accompaniment.

Delicate and inventive harmonies create a tranquil mood with effective use of different rhythmic patterns to add variety and engaging mood changes. Serenity is ideal for the intermediate duo is and suitable for any audience or occasion.

The double bass part is in orchestral tuning
