Courante Flute Duet - Digital Sheet Music
A courante is a Baroque-era triple-meter dance that was common in both social dancing and instrumental suites. The name comes from a word meaning “running,” but the music is usually more graceful and flowing than literally fast. In a Baroque suite, the courante usually follows the allemande and often precedes the sarabande or gigue. Composers such as Handel, Bach, and Telemann used it in keyboard and orchestral suites.Here is another one of Handel’s Courantes arranged as a flute duet. It should be played at a lively tempo with careful attention to articulation. A score and separate parts are included.Click here for more of my flute duets
