Bass Lines for unaccompanied Bass Brombone by David Fetter, composed in 1993, consists of four intentionally difficult etudes.

No. 1 exploits a traditional Boogie-Woogie figure, taking it through all keys, like an elaborate warm-up.

No. 2 has a Spanish influence. Its first performance was by Blair Bollinger, Bass Trombone of the Philadelphia Orchestra, on a recital at Temple University in 1996.

No. 3 Flowing, is a minimalist challenge requiring concentration, breath control, and stamina, with long flowing patterns, slurs through the middle register, and references to rhythms found in the music of Charles Ives.

No. 4 has a pounding Rock A section and a calm, jazz-cello style B section.

This work of about 15-minutes in length is appropriate for advanced performers.

Bass Lines is a great work to present on a recital, competition or a jury.
