Up to now,
the Dutch composer and
performer Karel van
Steenhoven, founder
member of the renowned
Amsterdam Loeki Stardust
Quartet, has mainly
written demanding concert
literature for the
recorder. Now he has
added an easy work for
beginners to the recorder
repertoire: 'A Musical
Journey' was composed for
two young recorder pupils
and leads through
different stylistic eras
of European music
history. Van Steenhoven
was inspired by an old
tune from Ancient Greek
which moves from
classical antiquity via
the Middle Ages and
Baroque era to jazz,
swing and modern music in
14 short character
pieces. In a playful and
humorous way, children
are thus introduced to
the different styles of
music. An excursion of
educational value without
missing out on fun and
pleasure.
