Scroll below for a video sampling of the duets as played in Finale. This is a collection of 10 duets of music from American composer Stephen Collins Foster. The songs were mostly composed in the mid-1800s. They are arranged as duets for soprano and tenor recorder.

The duets could also be performed by or with other C instruments in treble clef, such as flute, oboe, and violin.
