Instrumentation: harp, strings, solo bass

Description: Very melodic piece for a very good double bassist. Robert Oppelt from the NSO has recorded this and plays it beautifully. Greg Watkins also has performed this piece and would be quite a concert attraction – he is somewhat of a rock star now.

Understanding Evolution – The Learning Channel

This is such a sweet cue I couldn’t help but want a few more people to hear it. John Wubbenhorst plays flute here. And I am playing the guitar! The performers here are Nery Arevalo on Udu and Steve Bloom on Bierenbau. Is this a great sound or what?
