Unaccompanied Six Recorders

Double Reed Concerto in A minor

Anon c 1730 arr Jane Minns

6 TTTTBGb or 6 parts with solos/tuttis for large ensemble. The composition is a little gem, an example of concerto grosso da chiesa with music passing between 1-4 soloists and ripieno ensemble. It is ideally suited to a larger group but can be performed successfully by a small group.

Siciliano

Bach, J S arr. Marshall

6 SATBGbCb. Steve Marshalls arrangement of the well-known Siciliano from Bach’s Flute Sonata No 2 BWV1031 made at the request of Cambridge U3A, in memory of a former member, Paul Jennings. Quite apart from the fact that the key is now much more recorder-friendly than the original Eb, the arrangement makes no claim to authenticity, but it is guaranteed to go down well with non-specialist audiences.

Prelude and Fugue in C - BWV 553

Bach, J S arr Marshall

SATBGbCb. This prelude and fugue is one of Bach’s ‘Eight Little Preludes and Fugues’. After some years of doubt, the body of opinion nowadays is that these were indeed written by Bach, and that he wrote them for a clavichord equipped with pedals. Such an instrument is rather quiet and gentle, but Steve's recorder arrangement is rather powerful and exciting, more in the style of the frequent performances on mighty church organs. Total performance time is about five minutes.

Three Songs

Campion, Thomas

6 SATBGbCb. Thomas Campion (1567-1620) was famous in his day as both poet and musician. His fame as a musician rested primarily on his skill as a composer of songs with lute accompaniment, a field in which he was prolific, second only to Dowland. This collection comprises straightforward arrangements for recorder orchestra of three Campion lute-songs. Total playing time is about 6 minutes.

Flow My Tears

Ann has arranged the piece for this beautiful and increasingly common 'small orchestra' instrumentation, but it works equally well with one-to-a-part or with larger forces. Playing time of this marvellous piece is about four minutes.

Twenty Four Intradas for six instruments

Franck, Melchior ed. George Simmons & Virginia van Poole

6 SSS/ATTB. This edition is based on copies of the 1608 part books provided by the University of Frankfurt Library with the exception of the Quintus part which came from the Conservatoire Royale de Bruxelles. While Franck wrote these intrados with a string consort in mind, the ranges required for the parts are compatible with wind and brass instruments of all kinds. With this edition is an extra Altus part written an octave up for use on treble recorder. Scoring is for S.S.S/A.T.T.B. but eight foot instrumentation would work very well.

The piece is very well-represented in the world of recorder arrangements, except perhaps for groups of modest technical ability, who are in possession of a great bass and a contrabass.

He was one of the most famous composers in the city of Florence, and served the Medici family as a musician from the tender age of fifteen. These sinfonia were instrumental interludes in a theatrical performance that took place for a large Florentine Wedding in 1589. Despite their dance-like feel, this is refined and elegant music.

Festival Fantasy

Marshall, Steve

6 SATBGbCb. Steve wrote this for the closing massed playing session of the 2008 Cheltenham Recorder Festival, where it was conducted by Pam Smith. Although he says so himself the piece is quite cunningly written, in that almost the entire nine minutes is based on the first two bars. Those bars may come back at different speeds, in different keys or with different articulations, but they are never far away. You have to wait until bar 150 for some genuinely new melodic material. The result (he hopes) is that the whole piece feels like a unit, even though it goes through several moods. This piece is quite resilient - it would work well one-to-a-part, with a small or large orchestra, or with a hundred people (as it was done, very impressively, at the Cheltenham Recorder Festival).

Three Vignettes

Percival, Richard

So/BS/TATTB. 1. Celebration [energetic and diverse]; 2. Lament [Celtic influences, lower recorders]; 3. Frolic [short, energetic, agile]. The three short pieces that make up this suite are designed to provide an enjoyable challenge for the ensemble and an equally enjoyable experience for the listener. They can be performed as a suite or as individual pieces.

Sinfonia

Pendlebury, Connor

6 SSATBGB. "A short satirical parody of baroque music. ... My primary goal was to see how much counterpoint could I conceivably squeeze into five minutes of music. I managed to put quite a lot in there! ... hopefully something juicy for performers to get their musical teeth stuck into ... Enjoy!"
