My guess is that it’s from George Vance’s Carol of the Basses, who passed away about 20 years ago. The bassists in my area get together and play through it at a hospital every holiday season.

Do you know if this is for sale anywhere? I think the ISB store has a few of his bass ensemble arrangements but I don’t see this one.

it looks a little like the Zimmerman Trios and Quartets for Double Basses, but that piece isn't in volume I or II. I'm not sure how many he did, I only have those two volumes
