Description:
Back in medieval times, woodwind players carried bags full of recorders, shawms and anything else that they could get a tune out of(!) and the first doublers were born. Today, due to a combination of the ever-increasing popularity of musical theatre and an ever-decreasing budget for music, multi-instrumentation has become the norm. Music colleges that have traditionally placed their focus on single instrument study have recently introduced multi-instrumental degrees and masters courses.
This collection of six duets presents players with opportunities to play in a variety of commercial styles, with realistically timed instrument changes. Each duet is designed to work as a standalone piece for the two woodwind players, but equally you may choose to add the piano accompaniment or backing track.
Instrumentation:
Top part (Reed 1): Flute, Alto Saxophone, Clarinet;
Lower part (Reed 2): Flute, Tenor Saxophone, Clarinet.
N.B. The third duet "Chance Dance" uses Piccolo on both parts but either or both can be replaced by Flutes.
