These are 12 original and ambient flute and piano duets with a different piece for every major key beginning with C major and each number moving a half step higher till number 12 in B major. These are all relaxing and romantic composition in quiet and calm styles and are somewhat a set of etudes encouraging the violinist and pianist to play similar styles in some keys that that may not be favorites. However, professional musicians have to play in every key and students would be well served play all and not avoid certain keys. All of these have piano tracks that may be used for performance or rehearsal and can be found under "Quietude No. 1 Piano Track" and just changing the number to find the right track. The MP3 is of No. 1 while the YouTube link is of number 9 in A flat major. There are separate flute parts for every piece. Most of the piano parts as seen can also serve as stand alone solos. This book is also available for violin and piano solo. James Michael Stevens is a prolific composer residing in Nashville, TN and serves as the Music Department Chairman of Welch College.
