Sound Samples

Here's a demonstration tape we've prepared to introduce you to THE QUARTETTE ACCORD. For your convenience, we've loaded the demo online, but please be advised that a cassette or CD version of this is available, if necessary.

You'll notice that Samples 21 - 26 provide you examples of standard repertoire performed by the reduced ranks of THE ACCORD TRIO or THE ACCORD DUO to give you a taste of the trio and duo sound. With the exception of the popular Canon in D, which is not fully effective in duo form, all of the remaining samples on the tape can be performed by any of our ensemble options.

Also, remember that many of these selections will be appropriate in places other than what is shown, i.e., you may prefer Romanza, #2, as a romantic background for your Unity Candle ceremony, etc.

This page uses Flash for its music sampling. You can download the flash plugin here.
