This piece is written for Soprano Recorder and Alto Recorder. Some of the pieces in this series are in keys that you might not see a lot in learning pieces. This was intentional to keep the Soprano part in the lower register. Play along with Notation Composer or print the piece for playing with your friend(s). Please feel free to change the instruments and/or keys to suit your personal needs. RRR
"Take Five" was written in 1959 by Paul Desmond, the alto saxophonist with the Dave Brubeck Quartet. This jazz duet is quite challenging, but don't be discouraged. Playing along with Notation will help you learn the advanced time signature, 5/4 time. It is written in standard notation, but the underlying feel is easy swing, and the Notation products will help you get the feel of the music as you play along.
We hope you enjoy this duet.
