Description
Subterranean Dialogues, by Richard Meyer, is an edgy-sounding selection that is the perfect piece to feature your advanced string bass section while keeping all the players in your orchestra on their toes. The music unfolds as a series of dialogues, each a duet between the basses and a different section of the orchestra---violas, second violins, celli, and first violins. The wide variety of time signatures, shifting modes, and unusual orchestrations will challenge all of your musicians and delight your audience while putting the unsung heroes of your ensemble in a well-deserved spotlight.

I've always admired Richard Meyer and I love his music for actually making the bass a part of it instead of just being a lower cello. As a double bassist myself, I always love seeing basses getting melodies and not being overlooked as much. Good piece!

Cello Squadron for the cello player, Subterranean Dialogues for the bass player. Richard Meyer knows equality for the clefs.

One thing I love about Richard Meyer pieces is that he makes 3/4 not a waltz. Examples include Incantations, Emerald Falcon, and this piece as well. I have a bad habit of making waltz when I compose in 3/4, so I admire him for that. 😅
