Product Description
Der Vogelfanger bin ich Ja, (The
Birdcatchers Song) is an aria from the first act of Mozarts comic opera, The Magic Flute. It has become one
of Mozarts best loved melodies and features the birdcatcher Papageno. In the first production the
role was played by the producer and theatre owner. He was not a trained singer
so Mozart deliberately wrote a simple melody of limited range. This version is arranged
as a duet for one Flute and one Alto Saxophone
Musicians at an intermediate level
and above will find this ideal for formal and informal performances, with both
parts enjoying melodic interest. The duet format gives instrumentalists an
opportunity to play music written for the voice. The overall performance time is
around a minute and a half. The full-length youtube performance is the Clarinet version of this duet.
Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help
with detailed articulation and dynamics.
