Merengue de Merlín is an exciting original composition by David McKeown, arranged as a duet for one Clarinet and one Trumpet.This duet is based on the traditional Latin style of Merengue that emerged in the Dominican Republic during the Nineteenth Century.

The Merengue dance became hugely popular in the 1950s and new forms continue to draw audiences around the world.If you play to an intermediate standard and upwards, then you and your audience will enjoy this piece.
