The names of the composers included here read like a ?Who is Who? of the heyday of Bohemian musicians and composers from the 18th and beginning of the 19th century. They include F. Benda J. Stamitz J. L. Dussek and J. B. Vanhal in their time names that were known throughout Europe and who predominantly worked at noteworthy courts in different countries. Today their music is largely overshadowed by that of Haydn Mozart and Beethoven. Yet the Bohemiansparticularly excelled as far as the violin sonata was concerned. Our two volume edition will provide the curious (and indeed already quite advanced) violinist with a colourful bouquet of worthwhile discoveries.

Join Dotty-do-a-lot and her friends in the exciting orld of musicFun and Games with the Recorder is a comprehensive recordertutor covering all stages from the first notes of the beginner up to the point of preofessional instruction for budding performers. Although the recorder is often the instrument with wich children will make their first musical discoveries it is also an instrument of the highest artistic merit. This series of books tries to link these two extremes providing a carefully planned pathway between first playful contact with the instrument and professional recorder playing.The three Tutor Books are suitable for use both with small groups and for individual tuition. Progress is methodical and is made in small steps placing great value on consistent work with breathing sound production and the development of rhythmic security.In the Tutor books we speak directly to the child and provide carefully planned precisely formulated exercises. We recognise that some children learning the recorder will not yet be able to read but hope that this will provide an opportunity for a parent or teacher to become involved in the learning process. Each step in this process should be fun and accessable to both the parent/teacher and the child.Tutor Book 1 is intended for children from about six years of age. Previous musical experience is not essential but undoubtedly would prove useful. It concentrates on the notes B A g E1 C2 and D2 leaving sufficient time

By popular request these songs and pieces from the 5 volume English edition (by Margaret Murray) of Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman???s ???Schulwerk??? are now available in CD format. Singers and speakers are from a variety of English Welsh and German schools with professional musicians playing instruments. The Schulwerk idea is one that transplants well founded as it is on the basic elements of language music and dance with which children are encouraged to play and improvise imaginatively so that through the use of simple forms they will be able to make their own music. The material is not restricted to Britain but also includes songs from Canada and the United States. Theinstrumental ensemble is directed by Carl Orff and Hermann Regner. All possible instrumental resources suited to this elemental style of music making have been used. The barred percussion instruments that carry Orff???s name such as Glockenspiels Xylophones and Metallophones are used as well as simple small percussion instruments and the larger ones found in the conventional orchestra. The older forms of wind instruments are favoured such as Recorders Sorduns and Crumhorns. Brass instruments such as Trumpets and Trombones are also used. The Guitar Cello and Double Bass have an important role and where available the older forms of string instruments such as the Viol or Viola da Gamba blend well into the ensemble.

The music of historically well-known as well as lesser-known and obscure composers has beenincluded.

In some instances keys have been transposed signature and bar lines have been added. Separate movements taken from sonatas and suites have been included aswell in addition to some thematic material. The arrangements are primarily for the descant or soprano recorder. The alto tenor and bass recorders are included however in duets trios and quartets.

Americana 1865-These American melodies sound great on a soprano recorder. They also provide excellent material for developing skills in rapid tonguing extended breath-control and the playing of high notes. This collection covers many kinds ofmusic. Millions of Americans grew up singing 'Attisket Atasket' 'Put Your Little Foot' and 'Paddywhack'. Immigrants brought delights like 'First Night in America' and 'My Love Is in America'. John Philip Sousa captured theAmericana of his time in marches for all time such as 'The Fairest of the Fair' 'King Cotton' and 'Boy Scouts of America'. All across the country Americans sang and whistled 'Nine Hundred Miles' 'Gypsy Dave' and 'Pie in theSky'. Although arranged primarily for soprano recorder most of these solos can be played on tenor or alto recorder. (On the alto use 'C' fingerings.) A separate flute edition is available.
