Composed by Grant Horsley. 20th Century,Instructional,Romantic Period,Wedding. 2 scores. 20 pages. Grant Horsley #6492163. Published by Grant Horsley (A0.785814)."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 early intermediate level, about associated board grade 4/5- 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. Price is for score and parts (also Clarinet duet, flute duet, flute and clarinet duet, and violin duet available).
