Arranged for my final recital in music school, 1986. I used to do a lot of transcribing, and it was a great way to develop technique. I read anything I could get my hands on-- trombone music, tuba music, cello music. I was even adventurous enough to transcribe solo guitar music for the bass.

In 3 movements for 2 bass guitars, but can be performed on the double bass as well. It sounds deceptively simple, but is quite a stretch to play. In 1989, I re-scored the piece for string quartet.
