This exceptional collection of 41 truly beautiful airs and ballads from the British Isles offers both well-known tunes by the prolific blind Irish harpist, Turlough Oâ??Carolan and rarely heard melodies by anonymous composers; all have stood the test of time. Arranged for soprano or tenor recorder, these include Oâ??Carolanâ??s classically influenced â??Lord Inchiquinâ? and â??Eleanor Plunkettâ? as well as â??O Gentle Doveâ? and â??Cuckoo Dearâ?â?? both examples of the strong tradition of song in Wales. Among other tunes, the haunting modal melodies of â??The Dark Slender Boyâ? and â??Enchanted Valleyâ? express the melancholic heart and soul of the British Isles.

A few of these songs have taken on a life of their own in modern times. â??Bonny at Mornâ?, a popular traditional tune of northern England and Scotland, was arranged for soprano voice and harp by the 20th century British composer, Benjamin Britten. â??The Skye Boat Songâ? originally recounted Bonnie Prince Charles Edward Stuartâ??s journey to the Isle of Skye after his defeat at the historic Battle of Culloden. Later, the song evolved into a lilting lullaby and was more recently used as the theme song for the popular Outlander television series.

Departing slightly from recorder notation practice, author Marcia Diehl has judiciously arranged these melodies complete with spare slur markings to aid the amateur player in authentically and musically rendering these tunes.

As one of the great Baroque composers, Antonio Vivaldi's (1678-1741) compositions remain hugely popular to this day. The Four Seasons is his best-known work and therefore, Jean-Claude Veilhan's transcription for Recorder was well-received for making the highly acclaimed work more accessible. Vivaldi's Four Seasons were originally published in 1725 as a Violin Concerto. Each movement's texture varies depending on which season it depicts. Veilhan's adaption for Recorder includes articulation, phrasing and performance directions necessary to the instrument. For all aspiring solo Recorder players of the Baroque genre, Veilhan's transcription of Vivaldi's Four Seasons cannot be missed..

This volume contains arrangements of popular themes by the great composers, thereby filling a gap in the recorder literature between the Baroque and modern periods. Drawing on the large body of 19'â?? century arrangements (mainly for flute), the volume is more than entertaining in its own right. For the first time it enables the expressivity, phrasing and modulatory richness of Classic and Romantic music to be transferred to the recorder.
