Product Description
Bridge Over Troubled Water, by Paul Simon, was the last song written
for the last Simon and Garfunkel album.
It was a huge worldwide hit in 1970, selling six million copies and winning several
Grammies. Yet the song nearly wasnt released as a single at all; radio
stations at the time rarely played songs longer than three minutes and Bridge Over Troubled Water came in at
five. This version is arranged as a duet for two Clarinets.
Musicians at an intermediate level and above will
find this ideal for formal and informal concert performances, with plenty of
opportunity for expressive playing and dynamic contrast. The overall
performance time is around four and a half minutes. The short sample audio is from the Clarinet and Alto Saxophone version while the full-length youtube performance is the Clarinet Duet.
Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help
with ensemble skills. There are some challenging syncopated rhythms, though
knowing the original song well will help.
