Eb Tenor Horn Duet with Piano Accompaniment
Jacques Offenbach’s beautiful Barcarolle from Act II of Les Contes d’Hoffmann.
Duet parts played by Kevin Ackford
Written for Kevin’s Partner Barbara “An Huni a Garav” translates from the cornish language as “The one that I Love.”
This Beautiful melody will well into any concert programme.
Tenor Horn Legend Gordon Higginbottom described it as: “A lovely piece, a nice change to have a good melody not ruined by loads of twiddly bits, a real beauty.”
Another fine example of Kevin’s skill as a melody writer. The full chording, subtle rhythm and beautiful melody pleases audiences of all ages. A fantastic addition to your Horn solo repertoire
This duet has long been associated as being a Euphonium duet, here Kevin has arranged this beautiful Duet from Bizet’s ‘The Pearl Fishers’ for two Eb Tenor Horns using the harp influence of the original in the accompaniment.
