Work

Bass Lauwiliwilinukunuku’oi’oi. 

Description

This piece was composed for Philip Gottling, and was premiered by him at the University of Hawaii on April 22, 2010. The title, roughly translating as “ Bass long-nosed fish that flutters about like a leaf,” alludes to Schulhoff’s seminal Bass Nachtigall. The piece is moderately challenging, and includes a written low A1, which can be played with an extension if no suitable contra is available. There is also an “ossia” that eliminates this note.
