Product Description
Here is a mixed level, 1 piano, 4 hands duet arrangement of the classic hymn "Redeemed" by William J. Kirkpatrick. This arrangement differs from most EASY PIANO DUETS in that the SECONDO is the easy part and the PRIMO is the intermediate part. All notes in the SECONDO are played singly with the hands in one position centered around middle C (Middle C Position) and then played one octave lower or higher. Lyrics by Fanny J. Crosby are included on the SECONDO for sing-along enjoyment.
Adding a fun twist to this arrangement, the SECONDO begins the song by playing the melody an octave below Middle C position while the PRIMO plays the harmony as a descant. After the first verse and chorus, the SECONDO moves up one octave to Middle C position during an interlude and then slides right again for the second verse and chorus to play the melody one octave above Middle C. While the SECONDO is sliding to the right, the PRIMO gets up and moves to the left and plays the second half of the song in the bass clef. There's just enough time during the interlude (played by the SECONDO) for the PRIMO player to switch positions.
The purchase price includes an 8-page combined score (grand staff) with both piano parts on each page plus the alternate format with the PRIMO and SECONDO on separate pages (4 pages each). Also included in this set of scores is a condensed version with smaller font allowing for fewer page turns (6-page grand staff, 2-page separate scores for the PRIMO and SECONDO).
This arrangement is one of the 10 songs in the collection "O Worship the King, Book 1 (A Collection of 10 Easy Piano Duets for 1 Piano, 4 Hands)."
