"The Nightingale" Alto Sax Duet and Piano

"The Nightingale" For Alto Sax Duet and Piano is in a gentle Barcarolle tempo in concert G minor and in ternary form.

I wanted the lilting tempo in the outer sections to have a medieval minor tone, to work with the contrasting major section in the middle. I very much wanted it to be a sax duet rather than sax 1 and sax 2, so the parts are pretty equally divided.

It is romantic in nature, but uses modes and has a few interesting harmonies. It is placed at intermediate level, about associated board grade 5-

The youtube link has the full score for you to assess suitability. A dotted quaver semiquaver is the most complicated rhythm.

It would be very suitable for concerts, contests, recitals, weddings as well as an incidental piece. 5 minutes in length (also Clarinet duet, flute duet, flute and clarinet duet, and violin duet available)
