Mando-Rag 4'40 Beast & Baby 3'40 Jazzerello 3'30 Mando-Rag, Beast & Baby, Jazerrello each pick up a slightly different genre and are meant to be, above all else, fun and frivolous. Jazzarello is a mixture of a Saltarello (a type of typically Italian dance) and a jazz swing. Beast and Baby takes its name from two of the editors (Alison Stephens) instruments: Beast, a 1985 Pasquale Pecoraro mandola (octave mandolin) and Baby, a 1933 Luigi Embergher mandolin. The piece mixes a driving rhythmic theme for Beast with a more elegant and charming style of writing for Baby. Mando-rag is self explanatory and is a fun and charming rag which exploits the mandolin's capability to carry more than one part at a time.  | Save just over 25% (plus shipping!) off the normal price, and you can have 3 Pieces for Two mandolins right now with our Download version here |
