    Looking for euph duets pieces (no accomp.)

    Subject says it all. Looking for some duet pieces that do not require piano accompaniment.

    Wallet is open.

    These are current music stand clutter. I.e. we goofed around on them together sometime in 2022, and they never got put away.

    Do you need a particular clef, or is either treble or bass OK?

    Prefer bass clef. In a pinch TC is fine…I can read it ok and I couldn’t just rewrite the other part for the other participant.

    Can't go wrong with the Voxman duets. There should be volume 1 & 2 on this page:

    If you have the Arban's book there are some interesting duets in there. I happen to use "Bolero" (not Ravel's but De Gouy's) as one of the pieces to audition new euph members to our band. In my Arban's it's Duet #43, pg. 264. I have both clefs on Finale but not sure I can legally share a pdf here. There are a number of dynamic markings and articulations to make sure we read above/below the line and not just the notes.

    Guardia Plays - Arban's #43 w/play-along Section:

    There's also, "Just the Two of Us" (Bill Withers) that I thought of using as one of our audition pieces but decided it may be too tricky to play together without a rhythm section or back-track.

    "Just the Two of Us" - Musescore (trombone/euphonium):

    ... edit to add backing track link ...

    Tommy Pederson was great at writing things that help you work on technical skills while, at the same time, being musically engaging. Here is a piece of his for trombone choir,

    and here is one from the tenor and bass duet book.
