BrookWright Music: Two-gether (Kenneth Downie)

A super collection of four hymns and spirituals to add to your small ensemble catalogue playing.

BrookWright
  The pieces have been expertly brought together by Kenneth Downie

This collection of four duets for Bb or C (bass clef) instrument with piano accompaniment blends the timeless appeal of hymns and spirituals with engaging, equal-part musical interplay.

Expertly arranged

Expertly arranged by Kenneth Downie, they are designed to be fun to play and listen to. The book features two pieces in an upbeat, lively style and two in a more reflective, meditative mood.

The duets are ideal for concert or contest performances, church services, or simply to enjoy the shared joy of making music together.
