Description
In response to a request from a flute and penny whistle player I have made these simple duo arrangements of six public domain Christian hymns.
The parts are written in D (as is usual for folk instruments) and the top part can be played on a penny whistle in D or on a piccolo.
Because the penny whistle is basically monochromatic I have avoided accidentals for it.
In each piece the tune is carried by the top instrument in the first half with the other instrument providing a countermelody and in the second half they swap round.
The sound sample is an electronic preview of "His eye is on the sparrow" using piccolo and flute sounds.
The 6 pieces are available separately at £3.00 or all six together for $15.00
