...this work is likely to become a standard work very quickly and is to be recommended to all schools where recorder studies are undertaken (Oliver James,Contact Magazine) A novel and comprehensive approach to transferring from the C to F instrument. 430 music examples include folk and national songs (some in two parts), country dance tunes and excerpts from the standard treble repertoire of Bach, Barsanti, Corelli, Handel, Telemann, etc. An outstanding feature of the book has proved to be Brian Bonsor's brilliantly simple but highly effective practice circles and recognition squares designed to give, in only a few minutes, concentrated practice on the more usual leaps to and from each new note and instant recognition of random notes. Quickly emulating the outstanding success of the descant tutors, these books are very popular even with those who normally use tutors other than the Enjoy the Recorder series.

The aim of these little Consort Books is twofold. (1) to provide, in handy form, music for informal groups of recorders, strings and piano * examples of the best part-music of each age; and (2) to suggest to the producers of period plays, pageants and maskes, short pieces which they could use for incidental music and dances. In this, the addition of the recorder to the more usual strings and piano can give the period quality which would otherwise be lacking.
