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

Hans-Martin Linde (b. 1930) is not only one of the best-known recorder players of the twentieth Century but has enriched the contemporary recorder repertoire with significant works for concert performance and tuition purposes. The composition Reminiscences for Quartet for the unusual and delightful-sounding combination A[treble]/T/T/B uses musical themes from the 15th to 17th Centuries: from a ?Prélude l?imitation? by Froberger a melody by Claudio Saraceni ?Da te parto? themes from keyboard sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti the Chanson ?Adieu mes très belles? by Binchois and a ground bass from Purcell?s harpsichord collection ?Musik?s Handmaid?. 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.?

This series of three books is designed to fill a need for a repertoire (pentatonic and diatonic) for beginning and intermediate recorder players both musically demanding and rewarding sequentially arranged and parallel to the basic progression of the American Orff-Schulwerk series. Most of the pieces are intended to be both played and danced and simple accompaniements for various combinations of Orff instruments (with cello and guitar) are provided.
