Default Re: Somewhere Duet

Hi Walt and Ralph

I have lots of versions of Somewhere Duet now!

This last one for 2 tenor recorders is interesting. Apart from the fact that I am a beginner and cannot manage a key signature with 4 flats (and haven't reached the top notes yet!), there is only one note below the range of the alto recorder in the Tenor I line, as written. Unfortunately it is the very first note!

I have now also acquired a tenor recorder but have put learning this on hold because the fingering is different and I need to become more proficient on the alto recorder first. However, I love the lower register and have big hands and think that I will be able to manage a tenor (eventually). I am wondering if I should have started with the tenor because the fingering is the same as the descant(soprano) recorder.

I am having great fun with music - I just wish I had more time and could learn faster!

The different terminology, which I presume is due to the geographical difference between us, sometimes catches me out. I know the soprano recorder as a descant, the alto as a treble. And Notation Software has lots of unfamiliar terminology which makes using Help difficult! I first learned an instrument 60 years ago and in all those years had never come across the term 'measure' until I started to use Notation Software. Measures have always been 'bars' before! But it is good for keeping the grey matter going, especially the lateral thinking required to use Help when it doesn't understand my terminology.

I will keep the duet for 2 tenors for later

Many thanks for all your posts and duets.

Jane
P.S. Yes, one does get lots of practice re-shaping/re-aligning slurs when doing transpositions. I didn't bother last time
