More Bipperies continues Lowell E. Shaw's duet series with Nos. 10-19 for two horns. The ten selections offer more than a single version of jazz style: several carry swing markings, No. 12 specifies even eighth notes, and No. 14 calls for an expressive approach. Those contrasts give the partners clear musical questions to solve together.
With only two voices, agreement about timing and articulation is immediately audible. The collection can be used to compare straight and swung subdivision, match phrase endings, and keep a duet moving without relying on a pianist or larger ensemble. Its compact instrumentation also makes it convenient for a teacher and student or two colleagues rehearsing between larger ensemble commitments.
This is The Hornists' Nest's horn edition, HN95, not its separately published bass-clef version. It expands the available Bipperies repertoire with ten additional duets for players looking for rhythmically characterful music in a small format.
