If you are a keen recorder player, and find yourself marooned on a desert island, this should be your one choice of music. / Flûte A Bec Soprano Et Piano

A Selection of Renaissance TunesInstrument : treble recorder and pianoNombre de Pages : 56Steven Rosenberg writes in the preface:This book is intended to give recorder players a repertoire of solo pieces from the Renaissance. Solo literature for the recorder is often dominated by music of the baroque era, while the music of Renaissance is primarily preformed by consorts. I hope that this collection will expand the solo repertoire by bringing to recorder players some of the most beautiful melodies of this period. I have performed all of these pieces in public and have taken care only to include music that is of performance quality. Some of the pieces are grouped in suites, but you should feel free to play them in the order of your choice. For those of you equally at home on descant (soprano) and treble (alto), fell free to intersperse pieces from the companion book for descant recorder.The edition is part of the ABRSM Summer 2006 syllabus (grades 1-3) and the Trinity syllabus 2007 (grade 6).Content : Four Elizabethan Masque Dances: 1.

This publication contains Hungarian folk song arrangements; these pieces intended for music school students can be performed separately or may be grouped together in selections of variable size. The Soprano Recorder may be replaced by a Clarinet an Oboe or perhaps a Bassoon (the latter may require transposition in places). The melodies are mostly of a sprightly dance-like character and can therefore be effective programme items at student concerts.
