Description
12 Christmas Duets for Flutes by Kenneth Baird is a delightful collection of intermediate to advanced level duets based on traditional Christmas carols. They are challenging at times (not for beginners) without being overwhelming; at times joyful, at times uplifting, at times serene. In addition to being a great resource for teachers to play at lessons with their students, these duets are suitable for informal Christmas performances and many are appropriate for church services. Note: this collection has not been arranged to be fully compatible with Mr. Baird's arrangements of these duets for any other instrument. These have been arranged specifically for flutes. Included are: Away in a Manger; Deck the Halls; Hark! The Herald Angels Sing; Joy to the World; O Come All Ye Faithful; O Come, O Come Emmanuel; O Holy Night; O Little Town of Bethlehem; Silent Night; The Wassail Song; We Wish You a Merry Christmas and What Child is This?

Intermediate Classic Duets for Two Flutes: 22 classical and traditional melodies for two equal flutes of intermediate standard. From low C to third octave G. All in easy keys.
Description
22 classical and traditional pieces arranged for two equal flutes of intermediate standard. There are a few easier pieces but most explore the range of notes and techniques expected of players that are Grade 4+, and some are quite tricky! The pieces are arranged for players of equal standard, so each player gets to play the tune! Notes range from low C to third octave G although a few pieces are easier. All are in easy keys. There are 22 pieces in the book, some are longer, but most are short - one page, several are two or three pages. I've tried to be as varied as possible and have included both classical and traditional tunes, slow and fast pieces, easy and difficult, ones to play straight away and others to work on, but I hope you find them all enjoyable and fun. Arrangements include extracts from: Beethovens Fr Elise, Prokofievs The Duck from Peter and the Wolf, Dvorks Humoresque, Holsts Jupiter from The Planets, Loch Lomond, Griegs Morning from Peer Gynt, Elgars March from Pomp and Circumstance, Chopins Prelude Op.28, Boccherinis Minuet, Bizets Air de Torador from Carmen, Beethovens Minuet in G, Glinkas Intermezzo, Tchaikovskys Andante Cantabile from Symphony No.5 , Brahms Waltz Op.39 and more, some of which I expect you're unlikely to know because I wanted to include an element of musical exploration and adventure.
