L?Amour, (Love in French), is a beautiful original composition by David McKeown, arranged as a duet for two Violins. Click the link above to listen to a full Youtube performance of the Clarinet version of this duet.

This duet is inspired by the French Chanson style associated with café life in Paris and beyond. This music has its roots in La Belle Epoque and was popularized by singers such as Édith Piaf, Jacques Brel and Charles Aznavour. Long associated with romance, L?Amour is just what?s needed when love is in the air.

L?Amour is written for players at an intermediate standard and upwards. The melody should always flow; following the articulation in the score and adding plenty of expression will help convey the style. L?Amour has a performance time of around three minutes.
