A glimpse into the mind of the composer, our noble link to the world of music.
Lucas Drew, Editor Janet Clippard, Associate Editor
All compositions listed on musicfordoublebass.org are published by St. Francis Music Publications which was established in 2001 by Lucas Drew (Music for Double Bass) and Valerie VonPechy Whitcup (Music for Harp). St.F.M.P. (musicfordoublebass.org) is a retirement project and all proceeds are used for future publications.
The editors receive no compensation.
Study of original and transcribed compositions is necessary for the complete education of the double bassist. Original solos and etudes are the foundations of our literature; however, transcribed works of the master composers of the 18th, 19th and early 20th Century offer students as well as professionals a glimpse into each composer’s world. Our insight into the orchestral repertoire is also enhanced. We have the potential to be better musicians for having studied transcriptions, whether or not we ever perform them in public.
