Duets for bass + band instrument or bass + vocals

Feorel · #1 02-18-2009, 07:59 AM

I'm looking for some odd duets for bass and either a concert band instrument or vocals. My teacher doesn't happen to know many; he's shown me the Elgar and Mozart's Per Questa but that's all he really knows. Specifically, I'm really looking for more bass + trombone and hopefully something for bass + tenor (voice), but any suggestions would be awesome.

Thanks!

William Sydeman wrote a number of duos including one for DB & trumpet, DB and xylophone, DB and flute, etc. Start here- http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/a/sear...t&more=sydeman

There are some pieces for DB and baritone, soprano, and one with counter-tenor but I don't know of any with tenor voice.

Here's a piece for tenor sax, vibes and DB. Gotta love the internet! Band instruments, but not a duo.

You might want to try. "Spirituals" by yours truly. Go to ASODB.com. Its right on the 1st page and FREE! I have done it with bass/bass, bass/cello and bass/bassoon. Worked well every time.
