Pastourelle on 'Maynard's Almain' (arr. Ian D. Crew) by John Maynard Sheet Music for Instrumental Duet at Sheet Music Direct

Product Details

Product Description

The pastourelle/pastorale, depending on your language, harks back to the compound time folk music for bagpipes that we now associate with shepherds and the Nativity. (Two very famous examples are the 'Pifa' section in Handel's 'Messiah' and the final movement of Corelli's 'Christmas Concerto'.)

This duet in the pastoral style, based on a dance tune by the little known English composer John Maynard (c.1577 - c.1633), will enhance any Christmas worship or recital. Here is the version in F major for flute and Bb clarinet.
