Product Description
A complete book of oboe and bassoon duets. This sheet music is not easy, but is accessible for good high school or college players.
This series of five pieces arranged by John Gibson is an adult's journey to the land of children. Many composers have written music for and about children. The music chosen for this series of duets is not music written for children to play so much as vivid musical descriptions of children's thoughts and play times.
