The Londonderry Air is among the best loved melodies of Ireland. This beautiful version is arranged as a duet for one Violin and one Cello.

The Londonderry Air was first collected and notated in the mid-nineteenth century in County Londonderry in the North of Ireland, however, the origins of the melody remain unknown. In 1913 the English writer Frederic Weatherley set his poem Danny Boy to the melody. There are many other settings of the Londonderry Air, with various lyrics and in musical styles from orchestral to brass band to jazz, but Danny Boy remains the best known.

Londonderry Air is simply arranged in accessible keys and over a range best suited to the instruments. The melody is played twice with a key change and different accompaniment on the second verse and is suitable for players at an intermediate level and above. With a performance time of a little over three minutes, this version of Londonderry Air is perfect for recitals and concert performance. Click the link above to listen to a full Youtube performance of the Clarinet version of this duet.

Hallelujah Chorus, from Handel's Messiah, is one of the most widely recognized classical choral pieces in the world. This arrangement only uses violin and cello, but it sounds remarkably full and makes for a very impressive performance.

Originally written for a solo piano, this charming little piece by Bach sounds remarkably good when played by a Violin & Cello Duo.  For such a short little piece, it's full of swirling melodies and complicated harmonies that come together to produce an explosion of rich Baroque sounds.  Violin / Cello Duos that regularly perform for weddings and other special occasions will benefit from having this be a part of their repertoire list.

Hakuna Matata is one of the best loved songs from the 1994 Disney film The Lion King, reprised in both the Broadway stage show and the 2019 remake. This version is arranged as a Duet for one Violin and one Cello.

Written by Elton John with lyrics by Tim Rice, the original version was sung by Jimmy Cliff and Lebo M. Hakuna Matata means no worries in Swahili. The song was nominated for an Oscar in 1995 but was was beaten to the award by Can You Feel the Love Tonight, another song from the same film. 

Musicians at an intermediate standard will find this ideal for formal and informal concert performances. Total performance time is around three minutes. This version contains three different choruses as sung in the film, with instrumental interludes in between. In the films, this instrumental music lies underneath the spoken dialogue.
