Summary of This Score
This collection offers popular "mixed duets" for clarinet and alto saxophone, selected by Linda Frith, with an approach designed for the joy of playing as a duo. The pieces are easy and progressive, making it a valuable resource for duo lessons, chamber music at the music school, or simply to vary studies and exercises. The selection covers several genres to maintain maximum motivation throughout the pages: major pop and rock classics, songs from musicals, and a nod to jazz, with iconic pieces such as "Oh, Pretty Woman," "A Whiter Shade Of Pale," "Message In A Bottle," and "Take Five." Each duet emphasizes clear reading and solid ensemble, while allowing room for phrasing, dynamics, and interaction between partners. An excellent choice to build an "easy" concert repertoire, work on ensemble playing (starts, endings, breathing), and develop confidence on two instruments with very complementary timbres.
