One of the best-known and most-loved songs by British alternative rock band The Cure, "Just Like Heaven" was the band's first American hit single, and it reached the top 40 on the Billboard charts. The band's singer wrote this upbeat and energetic love song in honor of his future wife, making it a perfect choice for weddings, receptions, and cocktail hours, along with pop concerts, solo & ensemble contests, and any other occasion that you need to make your audience smile! This arrangement for violin and cello duet maintains the exciting builds, fun melodies, and most importantly the pure joy of the original, and it will be just as much fun to play as it is to listen to! In terms of melodic and technical difficulty, this chart is intermediate level, but I'm listing it as advanced-intermediate due to a number of interesting tied and syncopated rhythms. Have fun! :)

Includes some of the most famous Christmas Carols and Baroque pieces of the season (Bach, Handel, Corelli). Intermediate-advanced level. Scores and parts included. See table of contents for all pieces included in this book.

NOTE: While some of these works can easily be sightread, there are several that are meant to sound much fuller than your average 2-line transcription so they may be a bit more difficult with added double stops, etc. Much work was put into these to give both players great parts (not just a bass line in the cello part, etc).

Excerpts from the book can be heard on the video.

10 Latin Duets is an exciting collection of original compositions by David McKeown, arranged as duets for one Violin and one Cello.

Each piece explores a different style and flavour of Latin music, from the Rumbas, Salsas and Mambos of Cuba, to the Sambas and Bossas of Brazil, and on to the Calypsos and Merengues of the Caribbean. Mexico is represented by the Huapango, Venezuela and Colombia by the Joropo, and Argentina and Uruguay by the Tango.

Most of these duets are ideal for players of an Intermediate standard, with two or three more suitable for Advanced Intermediate. The YouTube link above shows samples of each of these pieces played on clarinet. You can also find full performances of each of these duets elsewhere on my YouTube channel.
