Catalog

TR1 - Pachelbel: Fuges, arr. for Recorder Quartet (SATB), 2nd ed.

Three fugues, arranged from organ works, ranging in mood from energetic and playful to introspective and thoughtful. Intermediate difficulty.
Score & Parts........$6.50

TR2 - Barsanti: Old Scottish Songs, arr. for Recorder Trio (SAT)

Thirteen songs selected from the composer's 1742 collection for solo instrument and continuo, published when he was living in Edinburgh. Familiar tunes in delightful and unexpected baroque settings. Intermediate.
Performing Score........$4.75

TR3 - Corelli: Two Triosonatas, arr. for Recorder Trio (ATB) with optional keyboard, 3rd ed.

The fourth and tenth sonatas from the famous Opus 2 Sonata da Camera in mellow arrangements well within the range of intermediate players enjoyment. Although the sonatas work quite well as unaccompanied trios, an optional keyboard realization of the rigured bass is included in this edition.
Performing Score & Parts........$7.00

TR4 - Bâton: Suites for Recorder Duo (AA or AT) or Treble Viols, 2nd ed.

Originally composed for the hurdy-gurdy, these three suites in the style gallante are harmonically more interesting and musically more satisfying than the better-known ones by Chedeville and Boismortier. Intermediate.
Performing Score........$4.75

TR6A - Eight Trios for Recorders or Viols, 2nd ed.

Pieces for three recorders in various combinations (ATB, TTB) or viol consort (Tr, Tn, B; Tr, Tr., Tn; etc) selected and arranged from vocal works designated "apt for voices or viols" by Ward, Wilbye, Pilkington, East, Susato, and Dufay. Because each line is of considerable melodic interest, these haunting pieces of intermediate difficulty, are particularly effective played by a mixed consort.
Performing Score........$4.75

TR6B - Trios for Recorders (ATB) or Viols, Vol. II, 2nd ed.

Further exploration of the beautiful literature intended for either vocal or instrumental performance but rarely found in format practical for the latter. Includes nine pieces selected from the works of Mundy, Bateson, Byrd, Tomkins, and Wilbye. Intermediate.
Performing Score........$6.75

TR8 - Palestrina: Two Motets for Recorder quartet (TTTB or AAAT) or Viols

Lush Renaissance polyphony in which all voices are equally important in the musical conversation. A transposed bass line, which may be played on tenor recorder is included. Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$5.50

TR9 - de Rore: Quartets, Vol. I for Recorders (ATTB), Historical Winds, or Viols

This composer, described by Monteverdi as "one of the first of the moderns", was enormously popular even long after his death. The four quartets in this volume have been selected from an anthology of his quartets, published in 1577, intended for instrumental performance.
Score & Parts........$5.50

TR10 - de Rore: Quartets, Vol. II for Recorders (SATB), Historical Winds, or Viols

Four more quartets from the same source as Vol I, having a somewhat higher tessitura.
Score & Parts........$7.25

TR11 - Nagel: Meditation, Canticle and Dance for Recorder Quartet (ATTB) and bass dulcian (or viola da gamba, bassoon, or cello)

A moderately difficult modern piece in conservative idiom. It accelerates from a dreamy, introverted first movement and lyrical second, to a rowdy finale.
Score & Parts........$6.25

TR12 - G.B. Sammartini: Symphony #4, arr. for Recorder Trio (ATB) with optional keyboard

An early work, more a triosonata than a "symphony". Although composed for modern strings, the piece is well suited for the transparent timbre of the recorder. Lighthearted and elegant, of moderate difficulty.
Score & Parts........$5.25

TR13 -Telemann: Two Fantasias, arr. for Recorder Trio (ATB) or Recorder (A) and keyboard

Two extended pieces in binary form selected from the composers three sets of invention-like fantasias for the harpsichord. Two performance possibilities are offered; page turns are avoided in the keyboard option by the inclusion of a turnover sheet. Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$4.75

TR14 - Telemann: Es Segne Uns Gott, arr. for Recorder Quartet (AATB) and continuo

A fragment of a motet expanded and arranged for recorder quartet. This work opens with a darkly compelling adagio redolent with suspended dissonances, explodes into a robust fugue, and ends with a brief, serene coda. Moderate difficulty.
Two Quaret Scores, Continuo Score, & Viol part.....$4.25

TR15 - Bach: Prelude and Allegro, arr. for Recorder Trio (ATB)

A gently flowing prelude from the set J.S. Bach composed for W.F. Bach, is paired with the relentlessly energetic first movement of his fifth organ "triosonata". Difficult but satisfying music.
Score & Parts........$4.75

TR16, TR17, TR18 - Michael East: The Muses: Three-Part Fancies from The Seventh Set of Books, for Recorder Trio (TTB) or Viols (Tr, Tr, B), in three volumes

The nine fancies from the last publication, in 1638, of one of Elizabethan England's most popular composers. Unlike the better known Airy Fancies of Four Parts from the same source, these pieces represent a fully developed instrumental style, described by East on the tittle page as being "so made that they must be played and not sung". Moderately difficult for recorders, a real work-out for viols.
Score & Parts........$7.50/volume

TR19 - Wade: Fugue, Dream and Dance (March 1, 1994) for two Recorders (AT) and two Viols (Tn, B)

An exciting and well-wrought fugue is followed by a tocatta-like free fantasia with a recurring ostinato figure. The final movement is a gently lyrical Sarabande. Difficult.
Score & Parts........$4.50

TR20 - Bach: Ruft und Fleht den Himmel An, arr. for Recorder Trio (SAT) with keyboard and optional bass instrument (recorder, bassoon, cello, etc.)

A joyful section from Cantata BWV 63, one of numerous cantatas Bach composed for the Christmas sseason. The first publication in our Baroque Ensemble Series, which will add to the sparse literature currently available in this genre, selected and arranged to be approachable by the intermediate player.
Score & Parts........$5.00

TR21 - Bach: Wohl Mir, Jesus ist Gefunden, arr. for Recorder Trio (ATT) with keyboard and optional bass instrument (recorder, bassoon, cello, etc.) (Baroque Ensemble Series)

A duet with violin obligatto from Cantata BWV 154, this serene but lively piece gives all players satisfying lines to play, with the second tenor providing a musical commentary on the dialog between the alto and first tenor parts. Moderate difficulty.
Score & Parts........$5.25

TR22 - Telemann: Der Got Unsers Herrn, arr. for Recorder Quartet (SATB or SATT), keyboard and optional bass instrument (recorder, bassoon, cello, etc.) (Baroque Ensemble Series)

A cheerful motet arrangement somewhat more extended than previously published TR14 and complementary to the sombre mood of that motet. The extended fugue that comprises the second half of this motet is filled with the mood of rejoicing. Moderately difficult.
Score & Parts........$4.50

TR23 - Palestrina: Madrigals and Motets for Five Voices (ATTTB) Vol. I

There is ample evidence for the 16th-century practice of using voices and instruments interchangeably, but in this century practical editions of vocal music suitable for the latter is sparse. The two works in Volume I and the Three works in Volume II are suitable for either recorders or TrTnTnTnB viols. Of satisfying length, they explore the remarkable polyphonic inventiveness and expressive range of this prolific composer. Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$4.75

TR25 - J. S, Bach: Two Cantata Movements, arr. for Recorders (SAT), keyboard, & optional bass instrument (recorder, cello, bassoon, viol)

A serene, extended slow movement in d minor from Cantata BWV 128 is paired with a joyful fast movement in C major from a cantata for Michaelmas (BWV149). Although intended as a pair, either movement stands well on its own in this addition to our Baroque Ensemble Series. Moderately difficult.
Score & Parts........$4.75

TR26 - William Byrd: Sections from Mass for Four Voices, transcribed for Rrecorders (ATTB) or Viols (TrTnTnB)

This masterpiece of late Renaissance polyphony is a breathtaking blend of complexity and serenity. Five sections of the mass have been transcribed; any one could stand alone, and together they form a suite of satisfying length. Intermediate difficulty.
Score & Parts........$4.75

TR27 - Bâton: Suites, Opus 1 Nos. 4 & 6, for Recorder (A) & Continuo

This edition replaces the old TR5, which included only the fourth suite. The two extended, multi-movement suites in the current edition are quite different in character, #4 being the most elegantly classical. The witty sixth suites movements bear titles including Fanfare, Les Cascades (The Rapids), and Fantasie. The latter is a bravura piece that sounds dazzling but actually is well within the reach of most intermediate-level players.
Score & Parts........$9.25

TR28 - Boismortier: La Matignon, Op. 33 No.1; Recorders (AA) & Continuo

In 1731 Boismortier, the most popular composer of his time in France, published a set of six Gentilesses, three-movement works for recorders or other instruments that could be played either as triosonatas or, by following the composers solo and tutti indications in the score, as concerti grossi. Delightful melodies and only modest technical demands on the performer make his popularity very understandable. Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$5.50

TR29 - Buxtehude: Cantate Domino, arr. for Recorders (SAT) and keyboard, with optional bass instrument (Recorder, Viol, etc.)

A sunny setting of the celebratory Psalm 149, Make a New Song . . . This addition to our Baroque Ensemble Series includes two sections, the opening setting of the first verse of the psalm and the concluding fugue, are included in this arrangement. Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$5.00

TR30 - Palestrina: 10 Trios from the Magnificat, transcribed for Recorders (ATB) or Viols

Examples of three-part music composed during the late Renaissance are somewhat scarce. These pieces, settings of verses of the magnificat, are of low intermediate difficulty, short (about 25 bars, generally) but pleasing representatives of Palestrina's contrapuntal genius.
Performing Score.....$4.00

TR31 - Krebs: Erforsche Mich, Gott, arr. for Recorders (SAT) and Keyboard, with optional Bass instrument

From a Composer described as the most Bach-like of J. S. Bach's students is this work in our Baroque Ensemble Series. An extended development of a straightforward theme is followed by an intensely chromatic, almost romantic fugue reminiscent of those found in Book II of the Well-Tempered Klavier. Difficult to sight-read, but satisfying. Upper Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$5.50

TR32 - Baroque Trios, arranged for Recorders (ATB)

A Fugue selected from a concerto grosso by Handel is paired with a Largo and Allegro from a concerto grosso by Corelli. Both are in the key of F major, and although each can stand alone, they work well together as a miniature suite. Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$4.50

TR33 - Bach: Wir Danken, Wir Preisen, arr. for Recorders (ATTB) and optional keyboard

This addition to the Baroque Ensemble Series from cantata BWV 134 features a brisk contapuntal discussion of the attributes of thankfulness and giving praise. It may be played as a recorder quartet, as a trio (ATT) with keyboard, or as a full ensemble. Upper Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$5.25

TR35 - Bach: Two Festive Choruses, arr. for Recorders (SATB)

A chorus from the Christmas Cantata (BWV 63) is paired with the victorious celebration from the Michaelmas Cantata (BWV 149). Both are of Intermediate difficulty; an extra alto part, down an octave, is included for the growing number of players who prefer not to read high ledger lines.
Score & Parts........$5.00

TR36 - Will Ayton: Miniatures for Martha, composed for Recorders (SATB) or Viols (TrTrTnB or TrTnTnB)

Eight gentle pieces in conservative idiom, small in size but rich in ideas, that would be an ideal introduction to 20th Century music for someone who imagines he or she doesn't like modern music. Individually the pieces are very satisfying; a few favorites performed as a suite create the musical equivalent of a stroll in the English countryside on a summer's day. Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$8.00

TR37 - Will Ayton: Settings of Traditional Jewish Melodies, composed for Recorders (SATB) or Viols (TrTnTnB) [Et Shaare Ratson and Yom Ze LYiral]

A deeply emotional melody associated with a 12th Century poem recounting the Binding of Isaac is the basis for the first setting, and a celebration of the joys of the Sabbath is the text for the second melody, whose dance-like character is infectious with its good cheer. Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$7.50

TR38 - Trios Vol. III: English Madrigals, arr. for Recorders (TnTnB) or Viols (TrTr, Tn or B)

The third in our popular collections of three-part music from the Golden Age of the madrigal in England, marketed in their day as "apt for voices or viols" but difficult now to find in form suitable to be performed by musicians who don't have their hands free to turn pages. Arranged for recorders or viols, stunning in mixed consort with a string playing the lower voice.
Performing Score.....$4.75

TR39 - Two Christmas Pastorales, arr. for Recorders (SATB)

Although J. S. Bach is not known to have written a "Christmas Concerto," these two serenely flowing selections from cantatas would have been perfectly suited to serve as final movements for such a piece: a musical portrayal of shepherds at night on a mountainside just before the joyful angelic visitation. Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$5.00

TR40 - Will Ayton: Incantations for the Solar Year, composed for Recorders (SAT) or Viols (TrTnTn)

Four pieces reflecting the moods of the changing seasons: A lyrical Song for the Winter Solstice, a merry Dance for May Eve, a stately, Celtic-inspired, Summer Canticle, and a whirling Rune for the Autumns Wind. Each piece stands on its own, and played in sequence, they form a deeply satisfying suite. (Two alternate parts in alto clef are included for tenor viols.) Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$7.25

TR41 - Louis Antoine Dornel: Sonata Opus 3 No. 4, arr. for Recorders (ATB)

Corelli meets counterpoint! Dornel was composing in Paris at a time when Italian influences were much in vogue. He modeled his wonderfully melodious triosonatas after those of Corelli, but with his background as a church composer, he added the depth of skillful contrapuntal interplay between the parts.
Score & Parts........$6.00

TR42 - Antonio de Cabezon: Himnos, arr. for Recorders (ATTB) or Viols (Tr,Tn,B,B)

A set of four fantasias on religious tunes transcribed from the organ works of one of Spain's most important late Renaissance composers who deserves to be more widely known. The pieces have a meditative quality with rich polyphonic invention, and no part is stuck with the job of trying to stay awake during an endless cantus firmus. Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$5.50

TR43 - Will Ayton: Settings of Songs of the British Isles, composed for Recorders (SAT) or Viols (Tr,Tn,Tn/Tr,Tn,B)

Twelve tunes selected from the treasure trove that comprises the great heritage of English music. The settings are essentially musical reflections on the thematic material, expanding and illuminating the melodies.
Intermediate to Upper Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$5.00

TR44 - Vitali: Sonatas da Chiesa Vol. I, arr. for Recorders (TTB) with optional keyboard

Two sonatas filled with sunny Italian melodies by the early baroque composer whose work inspired Corelli, Purcell, and others to develop the triosonata form. The harmonies are complete without the keyboard and the pieces work well simply as trios. Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$6.50

TR46 - Byrd: Graduals and Motets for Four Voices Vol. I, arr. for Recorders (SATB) or Viols (TrTrTnB)

This volume contains six masterpieces of Renaissance polyphony composed and published late in the composer’s life when his genius was at its peak. In his hands the “Gradual” (from the Latin “gradus,” meaning “step”) rises above its role as a little filler sung on the steps of the alter while the officient moves from one place to another, becoming a deeply expressive meditation. Particularly moving are those written for the Christmas season. Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$7.25

TR47 - Byrd: Graduals and Motets for Four Voices Vol. II, transcribed for Recorders (ATTB) or Viols (TrTrTnB)

The four pieces in this volume are extended works that range in mood from the glorious tone-painting in "From the Rising of the Sun" (Ab ortu solis) to the reflective "to us is given, to us is born" (Nobis datus). Probably intended for use in the small (and highly illegal) family chapels during a time of religious conflict, they have a more intimate feel than works intended for grand cathedrals. Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$7.50

TR48 - Will Ayton: Gifts and Celebrations, composed for Recorders (SATB) or Viols (Tr,Tn,Tn,B)

A set of three pieces composed over the course of several years as birthday presents, these works are satisfying on many levels. They have been described as "grateful," in that each of the voices has something interesting to contribute to the ensemble. In addition to being fun to play, here is a good opportunity for the timid player to get to know and become comfortable with playing nontradtional compound meters. Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$7.25

TR49, TR50 - Robert Campian: Ayres to the Lute, arr. for Recorders (SATB) or Viols (Tr,Tn,Tn,B) and optional voice

Robert Campian combined his talents as poet, composer, and lutenist to become one of the most prolific composers of songs to be performed with lute and viol accompaniment. These miniature gems range in mood from the profoundly spiritual "Ever Weather-Beaten Sail" to the tongue-in-cheek naughtiness of "A Secret Love, or Two." Each volume contains seven pieces arranged from the lute tabulature; complete text is included. Low intermediate to intermediate.
TR 49, Volume I-Performing score.....$4.50;
TR 50, Volume II-Performing score.....$4.50

TR51, TR52, TR53, TR54 - Will Ayton: Reflections on American Shape Note Hymns, composed for Recorders (SATB) or Viols (Tr,Tn,Tn,B)

The early American hymn tunes set out in the "shape note" system are a unique part of our heritage, one of the very foundations of what we regard as the uniquely "American" character of music in the United States. It is to celebrate this robust tradition that these musical meditations, or "Reflections," on some tunes from this vast treasure trove were composed. Upper intermediate.
TR51: Set 1 (Exultation, Indian's Farewell, Eternal Praise) Score & Parts........$7.25;
TR52: Set 2 (Evening Shade, The Midnight Cry, Fulfillment) Score & Parts........$7.25;
TR53: Set 3 (Babe of Bethlehem, Sons of Sorrow, Praise God) Score & Parts........$8.00;
TR54: Set 4 (Holy Manna, Star in the East, Sherburne) Score & Parts........$8.00;

TR55 - William Byrd: Marian Hymns for Three Voices, arr. for Recorders (ATB) or Viols (Tr,Tn,B)

These settings of poems in praise of the Virgin Mary, from Byrd's "Gradualia I" (1605), were most likely intended for private devotions in secret chapels during the English Inquisition. Each consists of multiple verses and may be performed without interruption as one large work, or one or two individual verses may be played as musical miniatures. Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$7.25

TR56 - Morales: Motets for Four Voices, arr. for Recorders (SATB) or Viols (tr,Tr,Tn,B)

Morales (ca. 1500-1553) was the first Spanish composer to achieve international renown. His works were widely perfromed throughout Europe and Spanish-occupied Mexico. This collection includes an extended work asking the aid of St. Giles, who among other attributes, was considered a protector against the ravages of the Black Death. Also included is a sweet motet to the Virgin Mary and a charming bit of shepherd's dialog from a Christmas play. Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$7.75

TR57 - Lotti: Two Missae Breves, arr. for Recorders (SATB) or Viols (tr,Tn,Tn,B)

In addition to holding the prestigious post of maestro da capella at St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice, Antonio Lotti, with his wife who was a famous soprano, was a popular star in the brilliant Venetian opera scene. His operas are charming, and his church compositions, while displaying a superb mastery of late Baroque counterpoint, are lightened by anticipation of the developing Classical style. Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$7.75

TR58 - Victoria: Settings of Ave Maris Stella, arr. for Recorders (SATB) or Viols (Tr,Tn,Tn,B)

When Spain's most famous 16th century composer turned his attention to one of the most popular 8th century Gregorian chants, the results were remarkable. Victoria's mastery of late Renaissance Italian polyphonic idiom is infused with the emotional directness and intensity associated with the music of his native land. Intermediate.
Score & Parts........$8.00

TR59, TR60, TR61 - Michael East: Songs Full of Spirit and Delight

The fifth set of part books published by Michael East in 1618 was his first "instrumental" offering, in that no texts were provided. The twenty lovely pieces in this aptly named set demonstrate why he in his time was arguably one of the most popular of the Elizabethan composers. Complete new edition, from the original source. Intermediate.
TR59: Vol. I - for Viols (tr,tr,Tn/B) or Recorders (TTB) Score & Parts........$8.00;
TR60: Vol. II - for Viols (tr,tr,Tn/B) or Recorders (TTB) Score & Parts........$8.00;
TR61: Vol. III - for Viols (tr,tr,Tn) or Recorders (SST) Score & Parts........$8.00;

TR62 - Dowland: John Dowland "Lite," arr. for Recorders (ATB or STB) or Viols (Tr,Tn,B)

Having trouble assembling a quintet to play Dowland consorts? Here are eight of our favorite Ayres (including "Lachrimae") distilled down to their essence, to be enjoyed by three players. Texts are included, in case a vocalist wants to join the fun. Intermediate.
Performing Score & ........$3.75

TR63 - Will Ayton: Fur Persons, composed for Recorders (SATB) or Viols (Tr,Tn,Tn,B)

A gentle, polyrhythmic lullaby the composer imagined a mother raccoon might sing to her kits is paired with a short tone poem, “Cats,” describing in four continuous sections a day in the life of a small household friend. Ending with the triumphant capture of a mouse, the latter is a real crowd-pleaser. Upper intermediate.
Score & Parts........$7.25

TR64 - Orlando di Lasso: Motets for Four Voices, composed for Recorders (ATTB) or Viols (Tr,Tn,Tn,B)

Six gems by one of the most prolific composers of the late Renaissance. The same gift for composing melodies and polyphonic texture that made his madrigals extremely popular is evident in his writings for the church. Curiously, no purely instrumental works by this composer survive, but these pieces work perfectly on either winds or strings. Iintermediate.
Score & Parts........$7.75
