Product Description
Walking in the Air is the flying theme from the animated film, The Snowman. Written by Howard Blake for the film in 1982, a
new version sung by Aled Jones, was
a top 5 hit in the UK in 1985. It has been a permanent fixture on Christmas
playlists ever since. This version is arranged as a duet for one Flute and one Clarinet.
Musicians at an intermediate level and above will
find this ideal for formal and informal Christmas performances. The rhythms are
straightforward though there are extended quaver passages at medium tempo. The
overall performance time is around two and a half minutes. The short audio sample is from the Clarinet and Alto Saxophone version while the full length performance on the youtube link is the Clarinet duet.
Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help
with phrasing and expressive playing.
