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
Eb Tenor Horn or Eb Soprano Cornet with piano accompaniment
Benjamin Godard’s Berceuse de Jocelyn has been a favourite for many years especially on the slow melody contest circuit. This arrangement stays faithful to the original by Godard with the different rhythms in the first and second recitatives.
From Claudio Monteverdi’s opera L’incoronazione di Poppea. First performed in Venice during 1643, this duet has been popular on many charts compiled by Classic FM and has been described as “one of the most romantic duets of all time.”
