Principal Bass & Bessy's Duet Mixed Ability/ Mixed Instrument Arrangement Beginner - Intermediate Download

Get your band, group or ensemble playing together with our arrangement of “Principal Bass & Bessy’s Duet” from “Part One - Europe”!

Produced in a range of clef parts and keys, this arrangement is designed to encourage a wide variety of instruments to play together from beginner to grade 3 levels. Orchestral and classroom instruments can play along together and there is the option to include accompaniment using the piano score or the easy piano part and/or CD backing tracks. The melody part is taken from the treble clef part in the music package but it can be substituted for another clef part from the package to allow different instruments to experience playing the melody. Should the melody part be absent from your ensemble, then the full mix on the CD can be used to play along with. It is not essential that all the parts are played in a performance and some of the easier parts can be transposed into a different octave at the teacher’s discretion.
Have fun!
