Arranged for Descant Treble and Tenor Recorder-Handel wrote three suites collectively known as Water Music which were first performed for King George I of England and his guests as they floated down the Thames River on the royal barge. The Air is one of the best-known melodies from the suite and makes a fantastic work for recorder trio (SAT). Each set includes a score and three of each part.

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.'

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
