Looking for a duet.

[BVD Press]

How about the Bach Inventions? One of you will have to transpose clefs, but it should be appealing and work!

I hate to disagree with Harold, but I don't think the average listener would find the Amsden's duets very entertaining or appealing. They are great for musicians to get together and read through, but are not appropriate for entertaining the masses.

I have heard things for Flute (or Violin) and Basso Continuo work VERY well. Handel, Corelli, Vivaldi, Bach, Quantz, all have audience appeal. You can play them at whatever tempo works for you and the flautist.




P.S. Your signature line makes me laugh... I grew up in West Texas... and wanted to be a forest ranger.

Schlep,
Kenneth Friedrich (Knuxie) has a nice piece for tuba and flute. pm him. You can hear it on acidplanet...

TELEMANN, G.P. / HARTLEY, W.S.
LYCEUM PRESS
THREE DANCES IN A MINOR / [FLUTE AND TUBA]

on Robert King site. I played this and the Hartley in recital. A nice contrast with the Teleman as a traditional sound and the Hartley as a more contemporary one.

A lot of flute sontatas or dances can be used if the tuba assumes the basso continuo part. Also good practice for the tuba player.

Shlep, it might be fun to jam with the floutist and do some oldies. Make up your own arrangements on a few classic or pop tunes that sound fun.
The contrast between tuba and flute should be riveting for an audience.
Good luck!

Oooh, that's right... just read off the piano score in a fake book!
Or make up a bass line while they play the tune.
