Composed by Armando Ghidoni Lirico Jazzy Duo is a duet for Flute and Clarinet. Lasting 8’46 minutes it is really melodious and was commissioned by Carine and Gilles Swierec from the duet “Attention Deux Vents”. It was composed in 2007 and would be perfect for upper intermediate level and above. Written in a jazz style it is divided in two movements: Adagio and Allegro Vivo the second one being much longer and more lyrical than the first. Armando Ghidoni is a French composer with Italian origins who plays Saxophone and Flute. He has been edited since 1989 by Alphonse Leduc.

Andalag # 1 - Duo for Flute and Clarinet (2011). Part of Andalag - Suite in 11 movements. Programme note Some years ago I was asked by the Faroese ensemble Aldubáran to compose duets for the woodwinds within the ensemble. The idea then came to me to write a Suite with the name “Andalag” in 11 movements. 8 movements are duets and are approximately 4 min. long. 2 movements are quartets and are approximately 8 min. long and 1 movement is an octet which is approximately 16 min. long. In other words the Suite will last approximately 60 min.   The (octet) instrumentation is2 flutes 2 clarinets 2 horns and 2 bassoons. The Faroese word “andalag” has a multilayerd meaning. The first half of the word is “anda” and means to breath or spirit and the second half of the word “lag” means melodi mood or layer. I use two small ideas in this Suite. One idea is in a sort of major mood and the other in a sort of minor mood. Sunleif Rasmussen May 2013
