Orchestral Spotlights: Double Bass

The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (HK Phil) is delighted to collaborate with the HKU MUSE once again to present a chamber music concert to spotlight a specific section of the orchestra. This time the protagonist is the HK Phil Double Bass Section. The double bass section, as the lowest-sounding member of the string family, often provides solid foundation to the orchestral texture in classical music—always keeping a low profile but totally indispensable. In Jazz, however, the double bass is the real charmer which plays the dance-like, rhythmic bassline pizzicato, or plucked. This concert will feature a collage of works from various historical periods and styles, including Renaissance, Baroque and American Jazz. The concert will also feature the performance of If the universe is in movement and not at rest… by HKU composer Owen Ho.

香港管弦樂團（港樂）聯乘香港大學繆思樂季（HKU MUSE），再度呈獻聚焦樂團不同聲部的現代室樂音樂會，這次主角是港樂的低音大提琴小組成員。在西方弦樂器中聲音最低沉渾厚的低音大提琴，於古典作品裡常以穩定節拍的定海神針姿態出現，低調但不可或缺；在爵士音樂裡，它則化身為獨當一面的萬人迷，以撥弦（pizzicato）方式彈奏富節奏感的低音線條，令人輕鬆欲舞。這場音樂會將帶領大家遊走於不同時代，一次過感受包羅文藝復興古樂、巴赫清唱劇以至美國當代爵士大師作品的低音域美樂拼盤。此外，樂師亦會演奏香港大學作曲家何飛雲的作品《若萬物皆於運動之中而非靜止……》。
