ISG Publications is pleased to announce a new album of four concert solos for contrabass by Patrick Neher. These pieces were composed in February through April of 2021, during the world-wide pandemic. Three of the four compositions are written for and dedicated to contemporary bassists, whom you may know: Cielito de Jesus, Jason Heath, and Frank Proto. Each composition is lyrical and expressive, and challenges a bass player to really “dig in” to the bass, honing his/her interpretive skills and delighting in accomplishing music that has such deep expressive potential, utilizing the contrabass’ great range of pitch. The titles of the pieces are: For Love of the G String, Grandma’s Attic, The End of March, and Divertimento for J.

Patrick Neher’s new Concert Solos for Contrabass 2021 album of four contemporary compositions is available on the contrabass solos page at ISG Publications.
