DUET & ENSEMBLE ARRANGEMENTS


DUET "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Encanto

Early Intermediate level 4 Hand, 1 Piano arrangement of Lin-Manuel Miranda's hit song from the Disney movie Encanto.  Primo has melody written with syncopation (let them lean on their ear if reading the tied notes overwhelms them) and joins in accompaniment chords. Secondo has a modified bass line which keeps the Latin flavor WITHOUT syncopation; in verse two, it has the echoing, male vocal.  ​

QUARTET "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay

Intermediate Keyboard Quartet for 4 players on 3 instruments--piano, digital keyboard & organ.  Digital keyboard requires string sound.  Organ requires (1) chimes and (2) strings on separate manuals.  [If chimes aren't available, a handbell or orchestra chimes could be used.  May require an additional player.]  You can add a floor tom drummer (part not included) to complete the sound of the ensemble.  

Purchase includes Full Score (30 pages) and 4 individual parts: Primo, Secondo, Keyboard, and Organ.  Individual parts fit on 1-2 pages, have each section labeled, and come with a song map indicating the order to play each section.  This non-traditional format is similar in layout to a guitar tab and reduces the length of each part by not re-writing repetitive sections.
