Programme note:

Georges Bizet's opera 'Carmen' was first performed in Paris in 1875, but Bizet died that same year before knowing that 'Carmen' would go on to achieve international acclaim. 

The Habanera is the popular name for the aria L'amour est un oiseau rebelle sung by the title character in the first act of the opera.

The Habanera was further popularised in the second of the two Carmen Suites published in 1887, and in 1943 appeared as 'Dat's Love' in the Broadway musical adaptation 'Carmen Jones'.

SKU: A0.767289

Composed by Mike Lyons. Contemporary,Standards. Score and parts. 20 pages. Lyons Music Services #3364625. Published by Lyons Music Services (A0.767289).

This is a fun new duet for almost any combination of Eb and Bb instruments. The time signature of 12/8 gives the music a bit of a lilt and gives rise to the slightly off-beat accompaniment patterns. The piece should sound relaxed and 'laid back' all the way through. The melody should, of course, be given prominence throughout. The semiquaver (16th) runs at the end of a bar should be non-legato, but not staccato and the septuplets, when they happen, should be slurred and even.

A great little concert piece for two and a good number for GCSE and recitals.

Parts are supplied for :

Part 1 in Bb/Eb/F
Part 2 inEb/F/ Bb(Treble/Bass)
