Hotteterre was a famed French composer and flutist from the Baroque period. These duets are part of my Play With a Friend Series. You can use any combination of parts together (available for purchase separately) and the music will sound great! You may also simply play the duet as written on the page with two of the same instrument. Total performance time is over 12 minutes. These duets are perfect for sight reading and playing with students. Also appropriate for background music at weddings and receptions.

A collection of four duets written with the youngest players in mind!

• Ranges limited so that students can focus on rhythmic accuracy, tone quality, dynamics, and expression.
• Rhythms are limited to whole, dotted half, half, quarter, and paired eighth notes. Rhythms that even the youngest musicians can count! No syncopation!
• No pick-ups! Each piece starts on a downbeat so the kids can come in with confidence!
• Each piece is about one minute in length to accommodate the limited stamina of younger players.
• A variety of styles and moods to motivate students
• Every measure of each part and score is numbered! You're welcome! ;)
• Duets may be performed by any two instruments, with like or mixed instrumentation, but if you use mixed instrumentaion you may have better results if upper instruments play the top line and lower instruments play the bottom line. Also, it may be preferable to avoid having two tubas, as the results may be less desirable.
• Books for Flute/Oboe, Bb treble, Eb treble, Tenor Saxophone, Horn, Bass Clef, Tuba, Bells/Xylophone

Give and Take

Range: Bb - F
Focus: Interplay between voices, especially contrasting staccato and legato, Triple Meter
Note: The meter signature of 3/2 allows for livelier rhythmic content without presenting sixteenth notes. Students should be able to read it in 6/4, then perform it in three when they get a feel for it.
