Classic for Kids contains 29 easy appealing pieces for recorder and piano from four centuries. Apart from original pieces for recorder, it also contains many popular melodies by famous classical composers, such as The Birdcatcher's Song by Mozart or Fur Elise by Beethoven. Many of the pieces can be played from the second year of lessons already. Some of the piano accompaniments have deliberately been set in easy arrangements so that they can even be played by pupils. This encourages ensemble playing and makes it possible that pupils enjoy playing the pieces together at performances.

This beloved work by J. S. Bach is arranged here for Soprano (Descant) Recorder with a fully realized keyboard part that is accessible to intermediate players and can be played on piano, organ, or harpsichord. It is perfect for weddings, concerts, or solo/ensemble repertoire and is able to be used with the Choral Edition, which provides a new translation. For worship, it can be performed almost any time since it exudes peace and joy, but it is particularly suited for Advent and Christmas since it comes from Cantata 147, "Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben" ("Heart and Mouth and Deeds and Life"), a cantata about Mary, the mother of Jesus, visiting her cousin Elizabeth and singing the Magnificat (see Luke 1:26-56). An optional part is provided for Cello/Bassoon. An arrangement with an easier keyboard part is also available as are arrangements for Alto (Treble) Recorder or Tenor Recorder and other instruments and ensembles.
