Musicians all around the world enjoy playing duets; for performance, for developing
sight-reading skills, and often just for fun. However, when it comes to Christmas duets, amajority of those published by major music publishers are arranged for elementary level
players. My wife is a flute teacher and I first arranged these duets for her to play with herintermediate and advanced students. They proved to be a delight for them; challenging attimes, without being overwhelming; at times, joyful; at times, uplifting; at times, serene.Now, I've adapted these duets so that they may be enjoyed by the saxophone community.
.Most are also quite suitable for informal performances and church services.I hope you will find these Christmas Duets to be a delight for you, too.
"behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord!"
Proclaim the Good News! K.B
