Lauren Gadd tends to rein me in when we are creating projects, but during the past two weeks I have been flooded in twice (which explains the flat-bottomed boat the former owner had in his yard sale) and got carried away. When we created The Sampler, we anticipated each piece would represent a book we would write, and all but one of that series are finished. The second to last one, Duets has become three books! While working on the Piano & Organ Duets I came across one of the Soler Concerti for two organs, often performed on organ and harpsichord. That gave me the idea to take Bach Arias and set them for two keyboards - or Organ and PR-300. In two days time I have ten of them done and they became their own book. Back at work on the original Duets book, I wrote the beginning of a piece, sent it to Lauren with a message saying "Tag, you're it!" and she wrote the middle, then we collaborated on the end. our first such venture, Prelude in d'Moll. Doing a calculation the Duet book went way over 100 pages, so we split it into two, one of classical pieces and one of hymn tune pieces. All three of these books are set up so that you can play them live as duets between any two keyboard instruments. For performance when you do not have a duets partner, all have MIDI files that play the Primo part either on Piano or Harpsichord. Some have additional orchestration. Some also are set up so that they will play on the Swell or Great of the organ while you play on the other manual, giving you total stop control of the instrument. Thanks for taking time to read all of this. We hope you enjoy the music. Remember, we guarantee satisfaction, so if you are not satisfied in any way, you get all your money back. You are not buying a pig in a poke. Which relates to the sermon at church today where I was at, the Prodigal Son from the pigs viewpoint. -- noel jones, aago athens, tennessee, usa ------------------------------- frog music press rodgers organ users group www.frogmusic.com * Frog Music Press Introduces two new books: Hymn Tune and Classical Duets for Organ and Piano (or PR-300) ---- To unsubscribe or change mail delivery (digest, vacation) go to www.frogmusic.com/rodgersmem.html
