Page28 #4, Sarabande

Selected Duets for Flute, Page 28 Number 4, performed by David Summer. This Sarabande is in the style of a Sarabande from the baroque period. That is, it is a slow piece in 3. The baroque sarabande was one movement of a suite, usually coming directly after the courante. A sarabande by GF Handel, in a similar style to this duet, was featured in the soundtrack to the picturesque Stanley Kubrick movie "Barry Lyndon" (1975). The metronome setting for this performance is quarter note = 72.
