12 Christmas Duets for Saxophones (or Oboes) by Kenneth Baird is a delightful collection of intermediate to advanced level duets based on traditional Christmas carols. They are challenging at times (not for beginners) without being overwhelming; at times joyful, at times uplifting, at times serene. In addition to being a great resource for teachers to play at lessons with their students, these duets are suitable for informal Christmas performances and many are appropriate for church services. Note: These duets have been specifically arranged for either saxophones or oboes. No attempt has been made by the arranger to make them compatible with his Christmas duet collections for other instruments. Included are: Away in a Manger; Deck the Halls; Hark! The Herald Angels Sing; Joy to the World; O Come All Ye Faithful; O Come, O Come Emmanuel; O Holy Night; O Little Town of Bethlehem; Silent Night; The Wassail Song; We Wish You a Merry Christmas and What Child is This? Also available, Christmas Duets, Vol. 2 for Saxophones or Oboes, arranged by Kenneth Baird.

Brilliant and catchy arrangement of this classic Christmas piece. Ideal for Christmas concerts at school and as shiny encore for your concert. Convenient performance score (Spielpartitur), 2 pages to fit on a single music stand. Both instruments are taking melody and/or fluorishing. Duet for two different Saxophones in any combination (SA , AT, TB but also SB and AB). Check my worklist for the version for two equals saxophones and other settings. Duration ca. 1 minute, 5 pages (one playing score -2 pages- for Alto-Tenor, one playing score -2 pages- for Soprano-Alto and Tenor-Bari).

This is a book of popular pieces arranged for duet; it comprises both volumes from the '15 Duets for Fun' series, plus the '21 Christmas Duets for Fun' as well, making a total of 51 duets in this set. The difficulty levels range from early-intermediate to advanced, and should provide something for everyone to enjoy. The pieces have been arranged so that both parts are interesting throughout - they often interweave and take on many roles within the music. A duet score is provided for each piece, and the repertoire covers wedding music, slow melodies, traditional Welsh melodies, baroque classics, famous symphonic melodies, piano works, Christmas classics and other popular pieces.
