This two-volume anthology has been designed on the living experience of teaching as material intended for descant recorder players at the beginner and intermediate level. The progressive order allows an approach to ensemble music, starting from the use of just the notes of the left hand, and proceeds with the acquisition of the new positions reaching the chromatic range of an octave and a sixth.The repertoire used consists exclusively of dance music from the French and Flemish area contained in various collections published between 1530 and 1583 by various composers and editors. This choice was dictated by a number of different factors: the extremely clear and symmetrical metric and formal schemes typical of the Renaissance dance form, with due and useful exceptions, help to understand the concept of musical phrase; the use of coded and recurring rhythmic formulas makes it possible to perfect the rhythmic division; harmony based mostly on the basic steps helps to form an experience of listening, intonation and understanding of the main harmonic functions. No less significant are other elements, such as variety in the length of the pieces, from a few bars up to several dozen, which favours the development of concentration and attention, with the same technical difficulties. Above all, however, the vastness of the repertoire, more than 500 compositions, makes it possible to choose and order the pieces with an idea of ​​technical and musical progressiveness comparable to that of a method. The edition is produced in such a way that all the pieces can be performed in four parts except for some in five parts, in different ensembles. The most basic is in reduced three-part form of descant, tenor and bass, the latter two are given respectively to the right and left hand of the keyboard player. Since recorders play at the octave above, the tenor part is also transposed in the same way to make the sound of the three upper voices homogeneous, while the bass retains its original range. It is also possible to enlarge the group to play the full four voices with the addition of an alto or tenor recorder playing the alto part, available in the separate part, and two more instruments, tenor and bass recorders or others, performing the respective lines alone or doubling with the keyboard.

From Ancient Times is a major work for brass band, inspired largely by the music of the Franco-Flemish School of the Renaissance. Hints of Gregorian chant and middle age dances pay tribute to music from even earlier times. The foundation of this spectacular work rests on truly 'ancient times' while the tonal language is of a much more modern nature! From Ancient Times is een mijlpaal in het oeuvre van Jan Van der Roost. Doorgaans vinden zijn werken hun oorsprong veelal in de Vlaamse vocaalpolyfonie uit de renaissancetijd. Maar met gregoriaans gezang en middeleeuwse dansen grijpthij nu terug naar nog eerdere tijden. De basis voor dit grootse werk mag dan in 'ancient times' liggen, de toonspraak is dat zeer zeker niet..!From Ancient Times ist ein Meilenstein in Jan Van der Roosts Oeuvre, das vor allem von der Musik aus der Zeit der flamischen Vokalpolyphonie inspiriert ist. Mit gregorianischen Reminiszenzen und einem mittelalterlichen Tanz wird jedoch auch auf noch altere Musik zuruckgegriffen: Grundlage dieses grossartigen Werkes sind wahrlich alte Zeiten (ancient times), die Tonsprache hingegen ist vorwiegend modern. From Ancient Times est une oeuvre de grande envergure, qui puise dans la musique franco-flamande de la Renaissance. La trame s'appuie sur quelques principes et techniques d'ecriture caracteristiques de cette ecole qui a profondement transforme la musique occidentale. On y trouve egalement des reminiscences gregoriennes et une danse medievale, mais le langage sonore reste essentiellement moderne. From Ancient Times est un sublime hommage aux maitres des temps anciens.From Ancient Times e un brano di grande impatto che attinge nella musica rinascimentale franco-fiamminga. La trama si appoggia su principi e tecniche di scrittura caratteristici di questa scuola che ha profondamente trasformato la musica occidentale. Si colgono anche reminescenze gregoriane e una danza medioevale, ma il linguaggio sonoro resta moderno. From Ancient Times e un omaggio ai grandi maestri dei tempi antichi.
