Traditionally, a “busker” is someone who performs (music, juggling, puppetry, etc.) in a public place for money. The 36 tunes in these books were carefully selected with busking in mind from 19 of the previously published “Tunes for Two” collections from Greenblatt & Seay. Not only can these tunes enable you to provide your admiring public with a wide variety of music they can also serve as a sampler of Deborah Greenblatt’s arrangements from many of these books. For example there are American, Danish, Hungarian, Irish, Klezmer, Russian, and Busking tunes. There are also ragtime, renaissance, and classical tunes as well as eight tunes with lyrics for those of you who like to sing. Most of these tunes have guitar chords which can come in handy if you have friends that play rhythm instruments.
Each Tunes for Two collection consists of individual spiral-bound duet books presented in score form with melody on the top line and harmony beneath so you can play each tune by yourself or with others. The tunes are laid out so that there are no page turns to interrupt the flow of your playing. Duo arrangements of the tunes in this collection, in the same keys, are available for violins, violas, cellos, basses, and mandolins.
PDFs are available worldwide for each of the books in the Tunes for Two series.
