By Simon And Garfunkel. By Paul Simon. Arranged by David McKeown. Folk,Pop,Rock. Score and parts. 4 pages. David McKeown #3068461. Published by David McKeown (A0.587095).The Sound of Silence was the first of many hits for Simon and Garfunkel. It was first recorded in 1963 but the release was a commercial failure and the two musicians went their separate ways. However, after some local radio airplay the producer decided to remix the original with electric instruments. The song became a worldwide hit and Simon and Garfunkel hastily reformed as a duo. This version is arranged as a duet for Violin and Cello.
Musicians of an intermediate standard and above will find this ideal for formal and informal performances, with both parts enjoying melodic interest. The overall performance time is around two and a half minutes.
Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to approach ensemble skills and phrase shaping. The rhythms are quite straightforward. The short audio recording is from the Clarinet and Alto Saxophone version while the full length youtube performance is the Clarinet duet.
