Position:Home>Performing Arts> Cello and upright bass audition pieces?


Question:I am auditioning for orchestra at my college on cello and upright bass. Does anyone know of any good, intermediate level pieces I could audition with for either instrument? There are no specific guidelines as I am not a music performance major. I just need "permission of instructor" to be in the ensemble, and I'm sure they will be asking me to play for them.

If you have any ideas, please let me know! Also, if anyone has copies of sheet music, or links to websites with the pieces, I would greatly appreciate it!
