Reminiscent of pop songs from the early 2000’s, this piece is a good first for duet performance. The accompaniment emphasizes the main pulse and the tenor part is a singable melody begging for lyrics. With just three harmonies, and repetitive four beat strum patterns, the accompaniment is easily memorized. Add a third performer on congas or bongos to fill out the piece. Add additional percussionists as you see fit.
Although one of Gossec’s most popular works, this playful melody from the Classical period may be best recognized from its use by arranger Carl Stalling in several Warner Brothers cartoons.
Green Valley is a Bossa Nova written to help develop the ability of one student to be the sole accompanist. Both parts feature a variation, and the rhythms in the melody build confidence in performing syncopated rhythms at more moderate tempos.
