As a recovering band director, I find this thread interesting.
Check out the really cool string bass part in Alfred Reed's Russian Christmas
Music (originally for band, now also for orchestra). The part is cued in the
tubas, but it is a walking (almost jazzy) pizzicato line that I don't think
Isn't it pronounced 'fanshaw' ?

Hello All,
I wish to take this opportunity to wish all of you the very best holidays.
And, I would like to let all of my friends know that I am doing fine. I
am almost finished with my cardiac rehab, and am feeling better every day.
I do have a request. I have some weakness on my left side,

Just so, listening to a radio program on the history of English Language and
one of the folks pointed out that pronunciation has changed over the years
but spelling does not. Knight was originally pronounced as Monty Python has
it in the Holy Grail. Over time the "k" sound got dropped but the spe

The biggest inconsistencies in English are in its pronouciation vs its
spelling. Supposedly, multi-national personnel at NATO headquarters found
English to be an easy language until they tried to pronounce it. To help them
discard an array of accents, the verses below were devised. Not easy e
So... it's only taken me a year...(ok...longer), but the new site is up with
hundreds of new additions.
There are probably lots of bugs to work out - please bear with me while I
learn this new program.

'Sousa bands', so they may have been 'marching cellos' part of the

Interesting stuff, but you're all at least 7 or 8 decades behind.
The Famed Gillette concert band in the twenties and thirties had a
cello section in the band. The conductor added cello parts to
everything they played, as I recall. Prof. Gillette was a top notch
competitor with the Sousa
I compose for band from time to time, and though I personally have avoided
adding string bass parts, I think I'll begin to do so. I think they do add a
little bit of an 'attack formant' on the bass line, and although quite
subtle, the effect is audible and does contribute to a better sense of

This was certainly the opinion of the conductor of our All County Honors
Ensemble band this past month. He wanted a string bass to play the part and my
son, the alternate for the Honors orchestra, got the part and became a section
of one for the band. He enjoyed it immensely but still complaine
There are indeed string bass parts in quite a few band
compositions. A lot of it is for affect. The piece
that comes to mind is Alfred Reed's "Russian Christmas
Music". This fine work was written specifically for
symphonic band. There are several passages in it that
are covered only by the strin
The use of a string bass in the wind band also adds a certain "bite" to the
sound. It's a good thing to have.

Having a string bass in the concert or symphonic band is actually not at all
new, but dates from the 19th century- When band concerts were a primary source
of community entertainment, in many towns and villages it was the only place to
hear the latest "classical" music hits. The string bass wa
Could those of you with more experience with concert bands than me please
answer a question or two about the role of the string bass? I have,
sometimes but not all the time, seen a single string bass player in concert
band performances. Is this part written in by band music composers?
