Flower Duet from Lakmé

Arranged by Josef Stastny

Dôme épais le jasmin, often referred to as the "Flower Duet," is a duet for soprano and mezzo-soprano in the first act of the opera Lakmé, premiered in Paris in 1883 and composed by Léo Delibes. It is sung by the characters Lakmé, daughter of a Brahmin priest, and her servant Mallika, as they go to gather flowers by a river.

This lovely and popular music has been featured in advertisements for British Airways, and can be heard in bits by The Kids In The Hall and Astron-6, as soundtracks in films such as Carlito's Way, I've Heard the Mermaids Singing, The Hunger, Meet the Parents, Anomalisa, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life, Piranha 3D, The Angry Birds Movie, The Occupant and True Romance, and in television shows including Sex and the City, Regular Show, Parks and Recreation and The Simpsons.

Our arrangement includes bass or treble clef parts for trombone/baritone on the bottom.
