When a violinist lamented on the dearth of violin duets, Berio instantly began the process of creating a series of short duos, each named in honor of a friend or fellow musician/composer. Over the years, this set of 34 Duetti took shape, spanning a range of skill levels. Many feature a simpler role for one player, usually with an emphasis on a particular skill or technique. In her excellent transcription for two violas, Mayer-Lindenberg points out that No. 20 uses playing techniques necessary for those preparing Berio's Sequenza VI for Viola Solo. Violists have long created their own arrangements of the original violin duos. Mayer-Lindenberg has now transcribed the complete set, retaining original keys where possible or transcribing down to accommodate the viola's range.

ISBN 9781491160060. UPC: 680160918669. Key: G minor. English. English Carol.
Coventry Carol was first performed during the sixteenth century in Coventry, England as a part of the Pageant of the Shearman and Tailors. It was a lament by the mothers of children taken in the Biblical Slaughter of the Innocents. Robert Croo is credited with writing the lyrics in 1534, and the music was written by an unknown composer in 1591. The original manuscript of Robert Croo's poem lasted until a fire destroyed it in 1879. The underlying mixed meter feeling of this arrangement is meant to help the piece build momentum to the third verse to tell the tragic story depicted in the poem. The repeated motif is a descending chromatic scale and can be found throughout all three parts. Teaching a descending chromatic scale from G3 down to D3 will help the basses find their entrances throughout the chorus of the piece. The tenors have the same descending line up an octave in the cued notes starting at m. 49 and can sing in octaves with the basses for practice. .Coventry Carol was first performed during the sixteenth Century in Coventry, England as a part of the Pageant of the Shearman and Tailors.
