4 SATB. Chestnut (or Dove's Vagary)- All In A Garden Green - Argeers - Grimstock - Mundesse. Ann says: ‘In 1651 John Playford published a large set of country dance tunes, under the title 'The English Dancing Master'. The publication was a great success, and it was reprinted many times. 'The English Dancing Master' comprised melodies only, and they have been arranged many times over the years. I wrote my five DTrTB arrangements for a session I was conducting at the 2012 Cheltenham Recorder Festival. The arrangements are not difficult, and in any case the tunes work nicely at almost any speed, so I hope that many groups will be able to enjoy playing them. No part reaches beyond 'three fingers pinched', and the bass part never rises above an A – it is hence very suitable for inexperienced bass players. Total playing time (depending on speeds adopted of course) will probably be seven or eight minutes.’

4 SATB. There is not much music for adults that is both interesting and easy. I hope that 'Ann's Choice' will help to fill the gap. Volume 1, for DTrTB quartets, offers nearly a quarter of an hour of music by Tallis, Susato, Bonelli, Handel and Webber, as well as a traditional country dance. Whatever the original forces, I have arranged all of the music for DTrTB recorders. The keys are friendly and, other than two top As for descants, there are no notes higher than three fingers in the upper register.

4 SATB. Bransle de Chevaux  - In Dew of Roses  - What Poor Astronomers  - Paduan  - Sinfonia  - Galliarda. Ann says: 'There is not much music for adults that is both interesting and easy. All too often music that is easy is also a bit childish. I hope that the series 'Ann's Choice' will help to fill the gap. Volume 5, the second set for DTrTB quartets, offers six pieces of music from the Renaissance. This is proper adult music by lesser-known composers - Thoinot Arbeau, Paul Peuerl, Salomone Rossi and Balthasar Fritsch, as well as lesser-known works by famous composers - Thomas Morley and John Dowland. Whatever the original forces, I have arranged all of the music for DTrTB recorders. The keys are friendly and, other than a single descant top Bb, there are no notes higher than two fingers in the upper register for any instrument. Speeds are suggestions only; I have chosen music that I believe will still work well slightly slower than marked. '

4 SATB. Au Temps Heureux  - Quando Ritrovo La Mia Pastorella  - A Toy  - Ce Moys De May  - Madonna Mia Fa  - Carmen  - Allez, Souspirs 
Ann says: 'There is not much music for adults that is both interesting and easy. All too often music that is easy is also a bit childish. I hope that the series 'Ann's Choice' will help to fill the gap. Volume 7, the third set of DTrTB quartets, offers seven pieces of music from the first half of the sixteenth century. This is proper adult music by lesser-known composers and lesser-known works by famous composers. Whatever the original forces, I have arranged all of the music for DTrTB recorders. The keys are friendly, and I have arranged things such that no player ever has to go higher than three fingers in the upper register for any instrument. In fact the descants never rise above an F. '
