A simple duet arrangement I made of the American folk song "Turkey in the Straw" for B-flat clarinet and piano. This is an American folk song that first gained popularity in the 19th century. Early versions of the song were titled "Zip Coon," which were first published around 1834 and performed in minstrel shows, with different people claiming authorship of the song. The melody of "Zip Coon" later became known as "Turkey in the Straw"; a song titled "Turkey in de Straw" with different music and lyrics was published in 1861 together with the wordless music of "Zip Coon" added at the end, and the title "Turkey in the Straw" then became linked to the tune of "Zip Coon."
