BECS and ONGLES est une pièce assez courte, spécialement conçue pour être jouée par des musiciens ayant 1 à 6 années de pratique instrumentale, La version initiale a été imaginée pour quatuor de flûtes à bec, piano et congas, Deux autres versions ont ensuite été écrites, Toutes deux conservent le piano et les congas mais proposent deux autres formations 'quatuor' - une version à quatre clarinettes sib ou bien une version à quatre saxophones (1 soprano, 2 altos, 1 ténor),Becs and Ongles a été joué pour la première fois avec des flûtes à bec le 29 mars 2009 à la Vieille école de Voulx (Seine et Marne) / 4 Flûtes A Bec

These three pieces can serve perfectly well as a suite of sonatas - a coherent but varied whole - although in their original form they are unrelated. The adaptations have been kept to a minimum so that the true Bach is still abundantly present in the music. Contains: Prelude XXII from The Well-Tempered Clavier • Adagio (originally from the Sonata for violin and obbligato harpsichord in B minor BWV 1014) • Allegro from the Sonata for viola da gamba and harpsichord BWV 1028.

Partitur und Stimmen - P/ST - for recorder quartet s(t)a(b)a(b)t(b) Arrangers: Beutler, Irmhild / Rosin, Sylvia C. Estonian minimalist composer Arvo Pärt has adapted his celebrated work, Summa, for recorder quartet. Originally written for four solo a cappella voices, it is also available in arrangements for string quartet, string orchestra, and choir with organ. Summa bears the distinctive qualities of Pärt's music, masking its great collective complexity with simplicity in each part. This arrangement can be played by soprano/alto 1/alto 2/tenor instruments or tenor/bass 1/bass 2/great bass. Phrasing marks are consistent with those of the vocal arrangement. Universal Edition makes a significant addition to the recorder library with this edition. For intermediate to advanced players.

Partitur und Stimmen - for recorder quartet Arrangers: Beutler, Irmhild / Rosin, Sylvia C. Much of Arvo Pärt's music is for small forces and within the technical capabilities of developing musicians. Da Pacem Domine for recorder quartet is another example. Written in his tintinnabuli style, the piece was originally for choir or soloists a cappella. This scoring for recorders can be played in either of two combinations both of which can be found in this publication: High version - descant, treble, tenor and bass (S, A, T, B) Low version - tenor, bass, great bass, sub-bass (T, B, GB, SB). This adaptation will make a unique concert item for middle grade to more advanced players. Da pacem Domine in diebus nostris quia non est alius qui pugnet pro nobis nisi tu Deus noster.
