'Old MacDonald's Christmas Book' is a collection of Christmas songs and carols for recorders and voices that everyone can enjoy. All the tunes can be both sung and played - some additional recorder phrasing marks have been added to the vocal parts to encourage expressive playing. Many of the traditional carols have also been given descant parts, giving recorder groups their own musical part to play in carol concerts and school nativity plays. Easy keyboard accompaniments are also provided so that the Christmas songs can be enjoyed as concert pieces or used for music-making in the home.As with all the 'Old MacDonald Recorder Books' the emphasis is on enjoyment. All the recorder parts are easy to play, with songs and carols specially chosen to help pupils realise that playing the recorder is a very special activity. / Flûte A Bec Soprano Et Piano

A Selection of Renaissance TunesInstrument : treble recorder and pianoNombre de Pages : 56Steven Rosenberg writes in the preface:This book is intended to give recorder players a repertoire of solo pieces from the Renaissance. Solo literature for the recorder is often dominated by music of the baroque era, while the music of Renaissance is primarily preformed by consorts. I hope that this collection will expand the solo repertoire by bringing to recorder players some of the most beautiful melodies of this period. I have performed all of these pieces in public and have taken care only to include music that is of performance quality. Some of the pieces are grouped in suites, but you should feel free to play them in the order of your choice. For those of you equally at home on descant (soprano) and treble (alto), fell free to intersperse pieces from the companion book for descant recorder.The edition is part of the ABRSM Summer 2006 syllabus (grades 1-3) and the Trinity syllabus 2007 (grade 6).Content : Four Elizabethan Masque Dances: 1.
