The "Music with recorder ensembles" section is for an article I've written, about the survival of recorder ensembles ("choirs of flutes") into the baroque period. (It can be read on the Recorder Homepage - see the link below - in "Articles.") These pieces are not easily available so I have posted some of them here. The sonatas by Corelli in the Walsh and Hare arrangement for recorder have "Fluto Basso" headings in the bass part, presumably for a bass recorder.
I've just added a section of solo music, starting with the Sieber sonatas for recorder and bass. Sieber was an oboist who worked alongside Vivaldi in Venice, and the sonatas are very much in the style of Vivaldi's sonatas. If anyone has the version with a G#/E major chord in Sonata I, 4th mt., bar 33, please download the correction. Many apologies. (The Delalande 8eme Symphonie can also be played as a solo.)
The miscellaneous section, and the selections from Telemann's Ouvertures, have music the oboe bands might have played (see the La Barre suite). |
