The full story

Description

Traffic Trials was composed for the BIBF's One Minute Wonders project in2006 and is aimed at the beginner bassist, using only 1st position. T he accompaniments are strong and confident, contrasting a more simple solo line, and the descriptive programme notes will help the performers tocreate mini-soundscapes about the trials and tribulations of driving in the 21st-century. Modern but accessible and enjoyable. Gridlock Waltz - Grade 2 Trinity-Guildhall Performance Level: 1;2. John Alexander wa s born in West Sussex in 1942 and began to compose at the age of 20. At the time he discovered a fascination for art, literature, dance, architecture and sculpture and these topics, along with mathematics, have continued to have a bearing on his work. He studied composition with Edmund Rubbra at the Guildhall School of Music in London, and later with Jonathan Harvey and Peter Wiegold at the University of Sussex. John Alexander has never been a prolific composer, but an impressive and growing body of work reflects a rare eye for detail and structure - each work beautifully crafted and reworked until every inflection, detail and nuance is perfect. Probably best described as a miniaturist, he writes in a fluent, independent and strongly personal style with an intense desire to createmusic which communicates to both performer and audience alike. In 1999 John Alexander won the 1st BIBF Composition Contest and was invited to be a judge for several BIBF competitions. He was a featured composer at Bass-Fest 2001, was an spnm short-listed composer for three years, and was Composer-in-residence at the 2004 Rotterdam Conservatoire Double BassWeekend, Bass-Fest 2006 and 2007 Wells Double Bass Weekend. His works h ave been performed and broadcast throughout the world and he was writtenan impressive and unique body of work for double bass.
