This book offers eleven duets for second and thirdyear alto and tenor saxophone students with some experience in sight reading in the common keys. The pieces were composed in extremely varied styles from jazz to Calypso and from blues to French waltzmusette. Apart from learning different styles of music, the pieces have one common goal to convey the joy of making music in a small ensemble. The duets can be played with either two alto or two tenor saxes, or with an alto playing the upper voice and a tenor for the lower voice. The transposed parts for the tenor sax 2 are printed in a pullout segment along with the keyboard/guitar chord progressions in two keys appropriate for the Eflat alto and Bflat tenor parts. This format provides both notation and the chord accompaniment for almost any combination of the two saxes, the exception being tenor sax 1 with alto sax The companion CD offers playalong tracks for both types of saxes. As the two saxophones are recorded in splittrack format, one channel can be muted using the balance knob of your stereo, enabling you to play along with either voice on the recording. Due to their melodic and diversified character, these duets are well suited for recitals and often become student favorites. In recital, the duets can be performed with a live pianist or guitarist using the chord progressions provided, or with the piano accompaniment on the CD for Eflat alto lead only. The duets can also be performed effectively by two unaccompanied saxophones.
