William Byrd (1540? - July 4 1623) was the most celebrated of early English composers. Today his Pavane for the Earl of Salisbury is probably his best known work and this arrangement for recorder trio works particularly well. Each set includes a score and 3 of each part.

Par LINDE HANS-MARTIN. The four melodramas can be performed either as a suite or individually. The recorder ensemble may be employed solitically or as a group. It would be interesting to perform them by alternating ensemble / solo scoring [e. g. , by assigning high and more difficult parts to soloists and lower, simpler parts to the tutti ensemble]. In addition, it is also possible to combine my compositions with other pieces scored for an ensemble of any size [that is, through the use of older or newer interludes or through improvisations]. These melodramas were composed for the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis as part of a larger commission. They were first performed in Basel on 9. 9. 99 as “Musik fürein Blockflötenfest” [Music for a Recorder Festival]. [Basel, February 2005, Hans-Martin Linde]/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Flûtes à Bec

The composer writes: ?Inmany of my compositions a meeting takes place between old and new. In this Suite too present events unfold against the background of the past. Models from early music are mirrored in the present.?
