New Christmas Duet for Brass

News 01.12.2017 11:50

Announcing the publication of a new duet, for any two brass instruments, of a bunch of Christmas carols - Christmas Corker.

Although not aimed at beginners (some of the semiquavers would be too much for them) this duet would find use for some reasonably advanced players in a concert. I sometimes feel the more advanced players tend to get shunted out of the limelight by both the beginners and the very advanced (a bit like the middle child of three!) so this duet is something for them.

There are 7 carols in all - "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen", "We Three Kings", "Away in a Manger", "Carol of the Drum", "Silent Night", "In Dulci Jubilo" and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" to finish.

Unfortunately, the search engine MusicaNeo uses has turned up James Murray as the composer for Away in a Manger, but it isn't that one (nice as it is) but the traditional tune attributed to Martin Luther.

I hope you have as much fun playing this as I had in putting it together.
