Composed by David McKeown. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary,Halloween,Standards. Score and parts. 5 pages. David McKeown #6348711. Published by David McKeown (A0.592106).Derek the Deskbound Demon is a fun and original duet written by David McKeown for one Alto and one Tenor Saxophone.
Derek the Deskbound Demon is one in a series of ten Halloween-themed duets each presenting a portrait of a different Halloween character. All ten can be bought together in one collection by searching for 10 Spooky Halloween Duets for Alto and Tenor Saxophone.
Most demons spend their time playing fiendish tricks on folk or devising infernal tortures, but all that activity requires organisation behind the scenes and that’s where Derek comes in. Not for him, the sweaty toil at the furnace; Derek may well have little red horns and a pointy tail, but he much prefers sorting out payroll, tax receipts, spreadsheets and work rotas.
Derek the Deskbound Demon is suitable for players at an advanced intermediate level and above, with the accessible key and range balanced by the fast tempo and variable meter. With a playing-time of around three minutes, Derek the Deskbound Demon is a perfect upbeat addition to any performance program, formal or informal.
