Was about to start this thread several hours ago when I decided to check the DT and Forum first. So, if I missed an earlier thread on this topic, at least gave it TOCT.

We are partial to duets, esp. those written to the purpose. Know several. Alas! NOTFOLK! (Assume that is one word here.) Mostly from musicals; examples:

"When The Children Are Asleep" from "Carousel."

"Lida Rose (Quartet/solo in orig.)/ Dream of Now," "Goodnight, My Someone/ 76 Trombones," "My White Knight/ When a Woman's Got a Husband" and "Pick A Little, Talk A Little/ Goodnight Ladies" from "Music Man."

"I Hear Singing/ You Don't Need Analyzing" from "Call Me Madam."

"Let's Call The Whole Thing Off" from Annie Get Your Gun."

"No Two People Have Ever Been So In Love" from "Hans Christian Anderson."

Also, an arrangement of "THE GLORY OF LOVE / MAKIN' WHOOPEE!."

An odd family fav. is the syncopated TRIO version of "The Snap! Crackle! Pop! Song;" (silly lyrics, but the rhythmically challenged should stay off the slopes!). That should be enough to give an idea.

What we were wondering was, are there good examples of this type of duet or trio (not simply singing the same words in harmony) in the FOLK tradition? And where might we find 'em? Thanks.
