Fa Subito, subtitled It Had Better Be Tonight, was written in 1963 by Henry Mancini for the movie, Pink Panther. I had arranged a full orchestra version for the USAF Band back in the '60s, and we play the recording of it every now and then. My wife Cynthia asked me many months ago for a duet version of it -- so, finally, here it is. I don't expect the song to be familiar to a lot of younger musicians, but it is fun to play. I did not include a drum part, but it is a samba, if you'd care to add rhythm to it. I hope you enjoy playing it.

Reposted the .not file, as I had a minor error in the repeat instructions. Also, lowered the note velocity of the alto recorder to balance the sound a little better.
