Marching to Zion

A duet for alto saxes and piano and is presented as a suite. Titles include “Christmas Is Here- Weinacht Is Heut,” “Alle Jahre Wieder,” “Come, Ye Shepherds- Kommet, Ihr Hirten.” Can be performed as a solo.

This 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.

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 saxophone duet is presented in a rather simple two part fashion. Subsequent verses engage contrapuntal diversity of the melody line versus the harmony. A stirring rendition for any venue.

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.
