Composed by David McKeown. Holiday,Love,Wedding,World. Score and parts. 4 pages. David McKeown #6231077. Published by David McKeown (A0.590656).

æ„›(Ai, Japanese for Love), is a beautiful original composition by David McKeown, arranged as a duet for one Trumpet and one Tenor Saxophone, and is one of series of pieces celebrating Love in different languages around the world.

This duet is inspired by the Enka music of post-war Japan. As reconstruction gathered pace, the popular music of the day combined traditional Japanese scales, rhythms and themes with all sorts of contemporary Western ballad styles. Singers like Misori Hibari and Keiko Fuji became huge cultural icons in Japan and helped lay the foundations for today’s confident and vibrant Japanese music scene. æ„›(Ai) aims to capture the spirit of this emotionally charged music. 

æ„›(Ai) is written for players at an intermediate standard and upwards. Expressive throughout, be sure to pay attention to contrasts in dynamics and articulation. æ„›(Ai) has a performance time of around two minutes and a half minutes.

Rumba de Ruth is an exciting original composition by David McKeown, arranged as a duet for one Trumpet and one Tenor Saxophone.

This duet is based on the traditional Rumba street music of Cuba. Rumberos sing semi-improvised melodies over the Rumba clave rhythm with other percussion added, and the accompanying dance is an integral part of the performance. The rhythms of Cuban Rumba have travelled all over the world, providing the foundations for Son and Salsa and the ballroom Rhumba among many other styles.

If you play to an intermediate standard and upwards, then you and your audience will enjoy this piece. The steady clave rhythm is implied throughout, and following the precise articulation in the score will help convey the style of the Rumba. Melodies are clearly articulated and played with passion. Rumba de Ruth has a performance time of just under three minutes. You can listen to the Clarinet version of this duet by following the YouTube link above.
