Sacred Duets for Organ and Piano presents five well known gospel songs in settings designed to highlight the strong points of both the organ and the piano. These could be used as a part of morning worship service in some churches and evening prayer service in some. One or two of these might be included in a recital program where a local piano student could handle the piano part. These arrangements are written for a church organist playing a church organ.

Rosa Rio lives in Sun City Center, Florida, with her husband Bill Yeoman these days, but she has studied and played every kind of organ ever made. Her study at Eastman and her command of traditional harmony are especially evident in these arrangements. These arrangements demonstrate superb musicianship, great style, and practical keyboard techniques. They are easy and satisfying to play and hear.
