Woodwind Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.973274 Composed by David Leech. Arranged by David Leech. Jazz. 24 pages. David Leech #4782841. Published by David Leech (A0.973274). A Decade of Nigel consists of ten saxophone duets composed over a period of ten years as birthday presents for my grandson, Nigel Cooper. They can be played by any two similar pitched saxophones (e.g., two altos, two tenors). It is also possible to play them with any two treble clef instruments that have a similar written range (trumpet, flute, clarinet, etc.) although in some cases octave adjustments in range will be necessary.The duets are all written in a jazz style and, with the exception of number 8, should be played with a swing feeling to the eighth notes. Some of the pieces feature unusual time signatures.Although it was not my intention to make them progressively difficult, to some extent it worked out that way. This collection will be an excellent resource for saxophone teachers.I hope you will find these duets to be interesting and challenging, as well as fun to play.Note regarding printing: If you are printing the entire book yourself, print double-sided. The PDF file is laid out so that the duets (most are two pages) will be on facing pages, thus eliminating page turns.
