hese sparkly original duets evoke images of each country or region portrayed -- they are full of flavor. A samba beat of Brazil, a rag from the United States, the open sounds of the Orient -- all come to life, as do the representations of Polynesia, Poland, and Spain. The ethnic mix provides great variety of rhythms, always a plus for teaching and performing purposes. Parts are equally matched in difficulty level and interest, and fun for all concerned!
