"The Nightingale" Violin duet and Piano is a violin duet in Barcarolle tempo and in ternary form. 
I wanted the lilting tempo in the outer sections to have a medieval minor tone, to work with the contrasting major section in the middle.
I very much wanted it to be a violin duet rather than violin 1 and violin 2, so the parts are pretty equally divided. It is romantic in nature, but uses modes and has a few interesting harmonies.
It is placed at early intermediate level, about associated board grade 4 (top note F (only once I believe)- dotted quaver semiquaver is the most complicated rhythm),and would be very suitable for concerts, recitals, weddings as well as an incidental piece. There are 2 violin pages per part and the piano part has 5 pages- 5 minutes in length.
