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.

Astor Piazzolla is regarded as the founder of Tango Nuevo, a further development of the traditional Tango Argentino. During his life he composed over 300 tangos. For this edition, Markus Luthy chose six tangos from Piazzollas rich creative work to elegantly arrange them for recorder quartet. Without further ado it is possible to combine the recorder with other melody instruments. The sets are suitable for all players who mastered the basic techniques of playing recorder.'Eine Musik, die sinnlich ist. Sie klingt sentimental, traurig, manchmal religiös, aber nie kitschig. Sie ist rhythmisch, wirkt aber nie monoton.' Markus Luthy (ed.) / 4 Flûtes A Bec (SATB)

Un morceau de premier ordre de ' fun musique ' habilement arrangé, rapide et furieux. Ne doit pas être entrepris par le groupe élémentaire. (L'enregistreur) / 4 Flûtes A Bec (SSAA) Et Piano
