Jacques Offenbach’s beautiful Barcarolle from Act II of Les Contes d’Hoffmann.
Duet parts played by Kevin Ackford
Score & Parts
Carnsmerry was written as the set march in the year 2000 for the 1st section at the West of England Bandsmen’s Festival contest held in the village of Bugle in Cornwall. Snippets of both the Floral Dance as well as the May Dance can be heard in this vibrant march, finishing with an obbligato for both the Soprano Cornet and Solo Horn this is a must for your concert programme.
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.
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
