Recently I performed a duet that has been one of my favorites for odd recitals and incidental music for many years. I originally heard this duet on an old Sousa Band recording, performed by the band's flute player and solo alto player. The title is Serenade, by A.E. Titl. The sheet music lists about any duet combination imaginable. The parts are fairly simple, but the first part is heavily embellished, which contributes greatly to the turn of the century schmaltz. The copyright is 1908, by Carl Fischer, New York. The piano part is headed by Theatre Orch. 280. When I bought the music, in 1963, from Carl Fischer, Boston, it had been in their files a long while. The printed price was full band or orchestra $1.00, piano accompanyment, $0.25. The arrangement I found, by Theo. Moses, was piano, flute, and cello. I've performed it both on horn, and more recently, on a period solo alto (bell front alto). For violin and piano, it is a great encore piece with the Brahmes Trio. _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
