Balm In Gilead

Scored for two woodwind instruments with piano, the piece begins with a solo line and then adds the duet line. The ending section does much the same only with more rhythmic enhancement. An easy piece but gives opportunity for much expression.

An unaccompied flute duet that begins with imitative devices between the parts then moves to a nice duet treatment. The piece becomes more contrapuntalas it progresse and then breaks into a series of florishes. It then settles down into a pleasant duet harmy and movement.

This duet with piano uses some expressive, interactive cadenza work between the duet parts in the beginning and during the work. It is vigorous in nature otherwise and ends with a torrent of joy!

This flute duet is unaccompanied and includes both simple duet movement as well as contrasting contrapuntal activity between the parts. As the piece progresses more activity and joy is expressed and ends on a high note giving way to the essence of the title.
