Christmas/Holiday Duets - Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring Excerpt
Quote:
I have put in slurs, indicating where to breath (very quickly), but you may find that you can either play longer without a fresh breath, or require shorter phrases to keep from passing out. I have swapped the melody back and forth between the soprano and alto a couple of times, to give the alto a little more to do. Also, I have posted this piece with a time signature of 9/8. The free score that I downloaded as a starting point showed both 3/4 and 9/8 in the time signature. To my mind the 9/8 is a lot cleaner and easier to read, as the 3/4 version uses eighth-note triplets, and therefore has a lot more black ink on the page. Cynthia and I keep this piece in our Christmas/Holiday section, as it seems fitting to us. We are having a lot of fun with this piece -- we hope you do also. Ralph Rayner 12/04/2012 - On the original posting, I forgot to include the song title on page 2 and didn't remember to include page numbers. Too late perhaps for anyone who has downloaded it already, but good for future visitors. RRR Last edited by rrayner; 01-18-2015 at 02:07 PM. Reason: Corrections for Title, Page Numbers |

Hi Ralph,
Listening to this as I type using GPO flutes - beautiful! Thanks for sharing, and I'll have to break out a whistle and play along. Wish you and Cynthia could be here today for our Christmas Open House to play it for us in person I'll be printing this one off to have handy for any fellow wind players who might happen along today. ttfn, Sherry

Hi Ralph,
Just thought I should let you know that I borrowed your score and altered it for whistle to play as a solo for the offertory at church yesterday. Thanks Sherry
