**Traveling Around the World with 5 Notes - Flute and Bassoon Duet in F Major with Piano Accompaniment**

These songs are part of a research project aimed at gathering music from around the world using only the first five notes of a major pentachord. Here are 30 songs arranged for flute and bassoon duets that fit this criteria.

The flute part uses the first five notes, and the bassoon part uses only three, making it suitable for beginners. All melodies are in F major, using whole, half, quarter, and eighth notes, with enlarged notation for easy reading.

Piano accompaniments are included, with simple options for those with limited piano skills. I hope this material enriches your teaching and your students enjoy the journey with just five notes.

The name Nocturne (meaning of the night) was originally an ensemble piece in the 18th century in several movements used for for evening parties. Later In the 19thc it's one movement form, it was adopted by John Field and later popularised by Chopin. It generally has a tranquil lyrical melody and is very romantic and expressive.

I have tried to keep these elements in this Nocturne. Written here for Flute, Bassoon and Piano, the instrumental parts are equally divided. Highest note top E flute 1 (once)- Bassoon G. It is written in the key of A minor it has a very gentle opening with harmonies evolving around a cycle of 5th's in places. The piece has three definite sections- the lyrical melody to begin with, a middle section building to a climax before a return to the 1st section. This is followed by a transitional contrasting section (poco piu mosso) wandering through a few keys to settle on an inner pedal tonic note chime. Gentle chords restore the opening once more- this opening theme climaxes towards the end and a gentle reflection of the opening bars concludes the piece.
