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!
I play double bass in my Freshman orchestra, in middle school I got to play a song called Moon Bass, which focused on bass section, and it was a highlight of the year
I don't know exactly how to put it into words, but this piece has so many spots with fantastic polyphony and modal complexity: 0:29 - 0:45 1:35 - 1:41 especially 1:47 - 1:55 the violins contrasting with the viola at 4:00 - 4:07 is really good same thing at 4:20 (D:) - 4:27
I also play viola, Pioneer Sky and Argent Edge have good viola parts, Although I have yet to see a song that is specifically designed for violas.@@stonkybs
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. 😅
The ironic thing is that the 3/4 is actually a waltz and is marked valse which is French for waltz And it’s also a pretty rare thing for Richard Meyer to use French tempo markings more are in Italian and once in a blue moon, English. Anyways, you are correct about his other pieces, having the similar time signature, but not actually being a waltz
babe wake up new Richard meyer piece just dropped

totally agree with the section at 4:00
The bass part tho 🥵
Yes.
Dawg 💀💀💀
@@Shami_mann shut up the bass parts are godly
As as a cellist, I couldn't agree more
@@grimminie97No it’s just the way the original commenter worded it
Cello Squadron for the cello player, Subterranean Dialogues for the bass player. Richard Meyer knows equality for the clefs.
Viola? I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just genuinely intrigued.
@@stonkybs, Waltz of the Wicked isn't by Richard but it has some interesting viola lines
@@GDavis-e5g Oh sick, thanks!

Cellos olè is also another cello section feature. As well with. Viva violas.
