@joparkeruk Yeah, you'd have to change strings, but you can just play the music from your sheets in orchestral tuning, I do that all the time. The only problem is you'll play it a whole tone lower than it is supposed to be. Using the solo strings for orchestral works isn't practical; you'd have to transpose everything. Tuning down to EADG is possible, but the strings would get floppy and powerless.
I know this may be little late and I'm sure you've got the sheet music by now, but I got this exact transcription from the Lemur Music catalog like 25 years ago (in the actual mail catalog; not the website). I just checked and the website still exist (lemurmusic dot com); unfortunately, they don't have the sheet music for this piece... Still, you may want to check this source for other bass music and related stuff. To be honest, I haven't ordered anything from them in a long time, but this used to be THE source for anything related to doublebass back in my day...
"High solo tuning", a fourth higher than orchestral tuning and a third higher than conventional solo tuning, basically taking off the low string of a bass and adding on a high one. So high to low C-G-D-A.
Who could have thought this big daddy be so sweet, tender, gentle and full of passion!! Thank you both for a soulful collaboration!!
👍great!!!
oh my word...this is soooo beautiful...the first time in my life hearing a double bass played as sonorous as a cello...
I have to admit I am impressed. The violin version seems so simple in comparison.
This is breathtaking!I'm at a loss for words+++!
Superior performance, in every sense. Bravoooo!
This is breathtaking. I'm at a loss for words.

The next Gary Karr! Great work.
does anyone know where to get this sheet music for bass? i've looked everywhere, but closest thing i could find is for cello.

Is this high C tuning?
I think so, yes. Definitely sounds a lot higher than would be possible in those positions normally.
What is the tunning of the bass?
"High solo tuning", a fourth higher than orchestral tuning and a third higher than conventional solo tuning, basically taking off the low string of a bass and adding on a high one. So high to low C-G-D-A.
Wt?
GREAT!!!
@ 3:30-3:36 Ouch.
Who rated this a 1? Most bassist cannot touch this guys intonation, let alone his vibrato.
