Springs Of Living Water

An accompanied clarinet duet which begins with a melodic motif and then presents the hymn tune in untision my the two parts. The chorus then breaks into a duet harmonization in a straight forward manner. The next section presents the first part in a melodically altered rendition with the second part answering in an obbligato like fashion. The middle section is a Q&A forma with the piano dropping out, followed by a piano solo section. A modulation now gives rise to the second part acting as a solo, followed by another moduation where the first takes over as a soloist. Then another modulation and then the two parts present the chorus in a straight duet section. Where it remains until the end- as a strong final ending.

This clarinet 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.

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.

A duet for clarinets and piano and is presented as a suite. Titles include “God Is Love- Gott Ist Die Liebe,” “With the Shepherd Will I Go- Mit Den Hirten Will Ich Gehen'” “Come Hither Little Children- Ihl Kinderlein Komet.” Can be performed as a solo.

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.
