Although it bears the name Rugby, the composer himself insisted that this work was not programmatic in a traditional sense. Despite what Honegger may have said, it takes little imagination to find oneself in the middle of the pitch dodging tack- les left and right from the very first note. Immediately from the downbeat it is apparent that Honegger is not alluding to two-hand-touch rugby, but rather the sport in its full contact, “hold no pris- oners” variety.

  • Fiorini Master Thesis
    Campus Lemmens CROSSING OVER The Life of a Bass Player in Motion THESIS, presented as reflective aspect for the degree of Master of Music, major Instrument, double bass by Thomas FIORINI Supervisor: Mr. Wim DE MOOR Co-supervisor: Mr. Jan BUYSSCHAERT Assessor: Mr. Jan BUYSSCHAERT academic year 2016– 2017 “This thesis is an examination document. No corrections have been made after the official defense. Referring in publications to this document is only allowed when the written approval of the supervisor is mentioned on the title page.” 3 ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH My goal in choosing the topic of researching what it means to be a crossover bass player is threefold. First, I wish to shed light on my personal story and examine my musical journey that has brought me to the present day. In doing so, I wish to illustrate how it is that some musicians arrive at a career that can be termed “crossover.” I assert that it is due to an upbringing in which the musician (for purposes of this thesis a bass player) is exposed to a wide variety of musical genres and through this exposure acquires an ability to assimilate multiple styles. This must combined with a naturally curious predisposition and an ambitious work ethic. I have examined my preparation process in order to further lend validity to the point that it takes an extra amount of effort and an expertise in multiple musical styles in order to achieve success as a crossover bass player. My second goal is to delve into the history of the bass in modern music.
