Aztec Dances was commissioned by Christopher Orton with the assistance of the BBC Performing Arts Fund. The first performance was given by Christopher Orton (recorder) and Magdalena Nasidlak (piano) at a concert in the Manchester Midday Concerts series at the Bridgewater Hall Manchester in March 2010.The version for flute and piano was premiered by Wissam Boustany (Flute) and Aleksander Szram (Piano) at St James?s Church Piccadilly on Thursday 19 May 2011.1. Ritual/Pastorale2. Fertility Dance3. Ghost Dance/Song4. Sacrificial Dance Composer's Note The idea for the genesis of this work and indeed its title and individual movements came after visiting an exhibition at the British Museum entitled Moctezuma Aztec Ruler. The exhibition traced the events following the election in 1502 of Moctezuma as Supreme Ruler of the Aztecs and the subsequent invasion of 1519 by a Spanish expedition led by Herm?n Cort?s an event that was to eventually lead to the demise of the Aztec civilisation.Part of the exhibition explored the role that music and dance played in Aztec life. The primitive recorder together with trumpets and drums were used as an important part of the formal ritual ceremonies (including rather gruesomely human sacrifice) that took place to appease the many Gods which the Aztecs worshipped as well as for other more informal occasions in their social and cultural life.I have tried to reflect some of these highly contrasting and dramatic ideas in this four movement work.????????Edward Gregson

Concert Pieces - Teacher's Book-A superb collection of classical favourites show tunes and Latin-American dances as well as ragtime and enticing new pieces by John Pitts arranged and graded for Recorder players of any age.Designed to be used alongsidethe best-selling Treble Recorder From The Beginning tutor series. Pieces begin using the first eight notes taught in the tutor book before steadily increasing. The pieces themselves are absorbing and exciting offeringinspiration and incentive to develop new skills and rhythmic awareness. You will also find eight duets - a superb chance to experience the wonders of small-ensemble performance either with a teacher or a fellow pupil!

The best way to learn any instrument is to have lessons from a good experienced teacher. Although happily the number of such teachers is constantly growing the recorder is still frequently taught by enthusiastic but inexperienced teachers and many players start by teaching themselves.This series of books sets out to help learners of all ages in all three situations. Experienced teachers who may choose to disregard much of the text as personal demonstration is always clearer than the written word will find exercises and fine tunes a-plenty to support their own mathod at each stage. The less experienced willbenefit from many valuable teaching hints culled fromlong experience and may rely on the books to lead to a sound playing technique and a mastery of simple notation.Those learning by themseves - and I started in this way - are urged to work carefully and systematically through the books taking plenty of time to assimilate each point before moving on. For them without the personal model provided by a live teacher it is vitally important to listen as often as possible to fine players in person or on record so that they have in their mind's ear a clear notion of the kind of sound they would like to produce.But however they start I can only wish that all who use these books will derive as much pleasure and musical satisfaction and gain as many lasting and valued friendships as I have through this most subtle delightful and sociable of instruments. (Brian Bonsor)“...this work is likely to become a standart work very quickly and is to be recommended to all schools where recorder studies are undertaken“ (Oliver James Contact Magazine)These two tutors with accompanying teacher's books are for newcomers to the instrument who are beginning on the treble and so assume no previous knowledge either of the instrument or of musical notation.

Charles Buterne's Sonata in C Minor Op.2/4 for Treble Recorder and Continuo edited by David Lasocki.

These pieces have for the most part been taken from collections compiled and arranged by Alfred Moffat for Violin and Piano. Originally composed during the periond when the Recorder was a favourite instrument in England it can be assumed that many of these pieces were actually composed for the instrument.

These 12 songs without words are equally suitable as music for performance as they are as study material or for aural training in free twelve-note music. / Flûte A Bec Alto Et Piano

Arrangeur: Ursula Schmidt-Laukamp. Par BLAVET MICHEL. Michel Blavet (1700-1768) était un musicien très célèbre et populaire de son vivant. Bien qu'il soit un autodidacte sur de nombreux instruments, son instrument principal était la flûte traversière dont il jouait de la main gauche. Ses compositions mêlent les styles italiens et français. Formellement, ses sonates sont des suites et ont souvent des titres programmatiques. La sonate op. 2 #4 est aussi appelé 'La Lumague'. Marie de Lumague (1599-1657) a fondé le mouvement Caritas en France sous le règne de Louis XIII.
