Composed by Humpback whales. Arranged by Alan Edgar. Contemporary. Individual part. 3 pages. Alan Edgar Ted Moon #910698. Published by Alan Edgar Ted Moon (A0.1322399).These pieces were inspired by the whales and by Leon Bosch's playing and enthusiasm. I have tried to edit or transcribe each of these two humpback whale songs for doublebass. The first is based on a youtube video Humpback Whale Orchestrated Vocalisations: Alexander Liebermann offers a notated version of this male's song which can be seen while playing the video. I could not find tonality, but there are recurring motifs with slight variations.
The second song sounds more like F major moving to Bb. I tried to transcribe the early phrases of a 30-minute song recorded off Hawaii in 1998.The later sounds are less positive and I ignored them.
DURATION: 4 minutes.
INSTRUMENTATION: Virtuoso doublebass (extension not required).
