Arrangement for Recorder Quintet-Peter Warlock was a pseudonym of Philip Arnold Heseltine an English composer and music critic. Although he used his own name when writing as a music critic he composed under the pseudonym Peter Warlock and is now better known by this name. As with most of his pieces it was originally composed for voice and piano. This version has been arranged by Stanley Taylor for Recorder quintet.

Corpus Christi is an anonymous Middle English Carol first written down c.1500. It was re-worked as a carol for Soprano and Tenor Soloists with SATB chorus by Peter Walock (1894-1930) in 1919. It wasdedicated to Thomas Strong later Bishop of Oxford who had been Dean of Christ Church College during Warlock's brief time studying there and who is better known for encouraging William Walton's musicalcareer. While he is best remembered for his scandalous lifestyle and his large-scale Capriol Suite the Corpus Christi carol ranks alongside Bethlehem Down as one ofWarlock's most sensitive and beautiful creations.

This lovely melody from Warlock's Capriol Suite makes an ideal short work for solo piano.

Score and Parts-Johnnie Vinson has expertly adapted two movements from this well-known suite by Peter Warlock based on 16th-century dance music. “Basse-Dance” is a stately and moderate tempo dance in 3/4 while“Mattachins” is an energetic sword dance in 2/4. The unique stylings and at times unusual harmonies have been preserved in these delightful setting for beginning players. (2:20)
