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.
