title: Double Bass Parts: Challenges and Opportunities
abstract: The double bass is just different enough from the other string instruments that it can be mysterious to school orchestra directors whose primary instrument is not the double bass. Unlike the other instruments of the string family, the bass is tuned in fourths; the left hand is capable of spanning only a whole step without pivoting; there are different schools of thought on naming the positions, and there are even different bows (French and German) Because of these differences, ensemble parts written for the bass can present challenges and opportunities not immediately apparent to the nonbassist. As orchestra directors, we spend vast amounts of time researching repertoire for our groups. Whether we conduct beginning groups or advanced high school ensembles, we face many choices when choosing music. For example, many of us may look at the second violin part to determine if a piece will be something our least experienced violinists can handle that will also be rewarding for them to learn. Or we may look for a piece that includes a cello part that will showcase a strong cello section. It can be very beneficial to take the same approach to looking carefully at double bass parts in pieces arranged for school orchestra with the strengths and weaknesses of our bassists in mind. An awareness of what might make a bass part rewarding or challenging for young bass players can help lead to a successful experience for these musicians and for the whole group. There are three aspects worth considering when examining double bass parts to determine what kinds of things will play to the strengths of our young bassists, and what kinds of things can present challenges:

title: Analisis Bassline Ray Brown dalam Lagu Honeysuckle Rose pada Bagian Duet Double Bass dan Cornet
abstract: Dalam berbagai aliran musik, pergerakan nada bass atau bassline sangat mempengaruhi konstruksi dari sebuah musik. Jazz adalah aliran musik yang memberikan kebebasan pada setiap individu untuk menginterpretasikan musik yang dibawakan sesuai dengan keinginan dari pemain. Pada aliran musik swing jazz, nada bass dimainkan dengan gaya nada yang berjalan atau walking bass dan memiliki fungsi menjabarkan sebuah akord dalam sebuah progresi akord. Dalam format duet, Ray Brown mengiringi instrumen cornet yang memainkan melodi utama, menyebabkan nada bass menjadi satu satunya nada yang menentukan sebuah akord. Dalam membentuk sebuah walking bass, dibutuhkan target note dan approach note, hasil dari analisis yang dilakukan membuktikan bahwa approach note dan target note yang dipilih Ray Brown sangat berbeda dengan bahan pembandingnya yaitu Ed Fedewa. Bassline Ray Brown didominasi oleh nada nada yang menghasilkan reharmonisasi. Ray Brown juga kerap menggunakan gaya melodi bass dalam mengganti gaya walking bass. Pada akhir dari analisis peneliti menemukan bahwa Ray Brown membuktikan bahwa pada irama swing jazz, ketika nada bass menjadi patokan utama dalam menentukan akord, pemain bass memiliki keleluasaan yang lebih, dibandingkan dengan format umum, yaitu ketika instrumen yang bermain nada bass harus berintegerasi dengan instrumen lain dalam menentukan sebuah akord.
