Re: Somewhere Duet
Hi Ralph,
Nice arrangement (as always) and sweet story as well. I love stuff like that Fwiw, sometimes I've been taking your duets and playing either an improv bass line or adding a third whistle improv (bass-ish in nature) just for fun. The more open duet arrangements leave some room for that type of "jam along" practice. Thanks again for making these arrangements available to all of us! ttfn, Sherry

Re: Somewhere Duet
The lyricist for West Side Story was, of course, 19-year old Stephen Sondheim. (I call him my friend Steve, because he once actually spoke to me.)
When they were looking for a title for the show, his suggestion was "Shut Up And Dance." Thankfully, his lyrics were of a more profound nature. Thanks for these arrangements, Ralph. David |

Re: Somewhere Duet
Hi Ralph
Many thanks for this music, set as a recorder duet (and I see lots of previous ones that I will look at!). I am an ex string player but am just beginning to learn tenor recorder which I think/hope is your alto line. My daughter teaches recorder (as well as other wind instruments) so your arrangements will give us plenty of lovely music to play, once I'm up to it. And, of course now I am a Notation software user I can practise along to the computer. Thanks again, Jane |

Re: Somewhere Duet
Hi Jane,
Thank for your kind words, and welcome aboard! Quote:
I've seen a tenor in the stores, and the sales clerk mentioned that he plays one. He said he has a problem with reaching all of the holes (and keys?). My piano teacher at Berklee played a bass recorder when we got together for a Handel "Water Music" Jam Session. I wish you good fortune with your endeavors. You will find a very wide selection of pop/folk/classical/jazz duets with considerable variation in level of difficulty in this "Learning and Teaching" forum. Additionally, if you transpose the alto part to concert, you and your daughter could play a soprano recorder/violin duet. Neat! Ralph Rayner |

Re: Somewhere Duet
Hi again Ralph,
I think I may be wrong about the type of recorder I have - I think it may be a treble and not a tenor, I must ask my daughter! Thank you for the very useful suggestion that I can transpose the appropriate line for the pitch of whichever recorder I have. Jane |
