Christmas Classic Duets for Descant Recorders

Description Christmas Classic Duets for Descant Recorders   30 fabulous classical pieces picked for their Christmassy aura and arranged as recorder duets for intermediate players with some more suited to advanced players.   Christmas is a time of joy and fun, and for centuries composers have written music in celebration of it.   We have included religious works, seasonal music, music for parties, dancing, opera, plays, pantomime and ballet, and even Christmas gift music: Clara Schumann wrote music as a Christmas gift for her husband, Robert, and John Phillip Sousa wrote The Stars and Stripes as a Christmas gift to the American people. We hope you enjoy playing them all at every time of the year.   Most are two or three pages in length. The melodies are shared between the parts and would suit players of a similar standard who like a challenge – several (not most) are on the tricky side! Many are famous pieces by famous composers but some are beautiful works but less well known, including several by 18th and 19th century women composers.   Includes: Canon – Johann Pachelbel Cariglion – Elisabetta de Gambarini Cinderella – Pauline Viardot-Garcia Danse de la Fée Dragée – Nutcracker – Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Danse des Mirlitons – Nutcracker – Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Four Traditional Carols – Gustav Holst Hallelujah Chorus – George Frideric Handel Hark the Herald – Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Hodie Christus natus est – Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck Ich stand in dunklen Traümen – Clara Schumann In dulce jubilo – The Shepherds at the Manger – Franz Liszt Le Noël des oiseaux – Cécile Chaminade Le sommeil de l’enfant – Teresa Carreño Marche – Nutcracker – Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky O Holy Night – Adolphe Adam Ouverture Miniature – Nutcracker – Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Pastoral Sinfonia – Johann Sebastian Bach Pastoral Symphony – George Frideric Handel Pièces Froides – Erik Satie Procession of Ovsyen and Kolyada – Rimsky-Korsakov Schlittenfahrt – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Sinfonia – Alessandro Scarlatti Skater’s Waltz – Émile Waldteufel The Frost Scene – Henry Purcell The Stars and Stripes Forever – John Philip Sousa Toy Symphony – Edmund Angerer Tritsch Tratsch Polka – Johann Strauss Trépac – Nutcracker – Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Vivace and Allegro – Arcangelo Corelli Winter – Antonio Vivaldi       Order this book now from AmazonUK, AmazonUS, and other countries, or from our website!   Downloads are in .PDF format and Paperbacks (available only in the UK) will be posted free of charge.   If not in stock, paperbacks can take approximately 10-14 days.     All Recorder Books
