Summary of This Score
THE DUO COLLECTION, 35 Pieces for 2 alto recorders, arr. Larry Bernstein is a generous anthology dedicated to the alto recorder duo. Designed as a true "repertoire book," it brings together 35 pieces spanning several centuries, from the 13th to the 19th, to explore different aesthetics and ways of writing for two voices. It includes canons to develop listening and rhythmic precision, sonatas to approach more instrumental lines and a more concertante dialogue, as well as motets and fantasies that highlight articulation work, phrasing, and voice leading.
The collection also offers arrangements of popular songs, providing pages that are more immediately accessible and very effective in concert or audition. The diversity of composers (including Praetorius, Giamberti, Corelli, Morley, and Josquin) allows alternating harmonic colors, ornamentation styles, and balances between the two parts. Whether as an established duo, in lessons (teacher/student or two students), or to build a progressive program, this score provides a solid foundation for working on intonation, ensemble, timbral balance, and musicality, while keeping the joy of playing at the heart of learning.
