Theselively arrangements are intended for the elementary pianists or keyboardplayers. While some duets are more challenging than others, the notation hasusually been kept as simple as possible and musical elements such as dynamics,articulations, phrasing and slurs have been omitted completely.

In the Secondo part, chordsare printed underneath the staff (rather than above) to create space for thefingering suggestions.

"Arise, O God, and Shine"- Easy Hymn Duet is for a beginning piano student and a Teacher or advanced player. The Primo part is easy. The student mostly plays the melody within a set fingering plan with a few embellishments. However, an advancing student has the option of playing the melody parts in parallel octaves. The Secondo part is more challenging. Together, this arrangement breathes new life into a beloved hymn.

Fred Rogers' sophisticated and lovable melody affords both young and old the chance to experience a jaunty interplay of triplets and swing eighths. Both parts of this duet sweep hand-over-hand to introduce the theme after which each player keeps close to Middle C position notes in single line melody or harmony. The primo takes the melody while the secondo provides bass. The secondo part includes a cue line to show the melody and lyrics. Both parts are included. (NOTE: Both parts are written in Middle C position - except for the introduction - and move out one octave from the center.).
