Recorder - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.999540 Composed by Antonio Vivaldi. Arranged by Thomas Pickering. Baroque. Recorder Ensemble. 21 pages. Thomas Pickering #6303761. Published by Thomas Pickering (A0.999540). Sinfonia in C major RV 112 by Vivaldi arranged for five recorders (AATBCb). This is a fun and short sinfonia comprising of three short movements. It is roughly 4-5 minutes long, and is suitable for experienced amateur recorder ensembles and advanced school ensembles. If you don't have a contrabass recorder to hand, you could omit the bass part and play the contrabass part on a bass recorder instead. Alternatively you could play everything two instruments higher: two sopraninos, descant, alto, tenor and bass. It is a lively and quick piece so it could work well on smaller recorders! .

Recorder - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1276127 Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Arranged by Ander. Classical. Recorder Ensemble. 19 pages. Woods Only, Arrangements #867887. Published by Woods Only, Arrangements (A0.1276127). Introducing the sheet music for an exclusive arrangement of the Second Movement (Andante) of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major, K. 467 for Recorder Quintet. This arrangement maintains the entire original structure of the work without any reductions in duration or purpose, with only the ensemble being reduced. Additionally, the solo is not for piano; instead, the melody is contained within the arrangement’s disposition without the need for a pianist to perform it. This arrangement is intended for performance groups with musical performance experience but can also be used as instructional material for music students and can be used in academic recitals, concerts and ceremonies. The original work was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1785 and is known for its beauty and serenity. With this arrangement, you can experience this masterpiece in a new and exciting way.

Recorder - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1129491 Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Ander. Christmas,Classical,Instructional,March,Romantic Period. Recorder Ensemble. 16 pages. Woods Only, Arrangements #729939. Published by Woods Only, Arrangements (A0.1129491). This arrangement adapted for recorder quintet was designed to make its listeners weep with emotion, because the adaptation preserves the original essence of the work, keeping its integrity faithful to what Beethoven wanted to transmit, with only a slight change in tone and addition of harmonic resources in the structure of the arrangement. Even though it is a funeral march, it is well suited for any musical performance occasion, being intended for beginner students who want to immerse themselves in the universe of romantic music, and nothing better than starting with the transitional composer of this period, which also does not prevent professional teachers from using it for recitals, academic presentations or didactic material in their classes as an ensemble practice. Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 in C minor sharp, Op. 27, No. 2, is one of his most popular compositions and was an audience favorite even in his day. Written when Beethoven was 31, the Moonlight Sonata (Mondscheinsonate in German) was composed after he finished some commissioned works, but there is no evidence that he was hired to write this work. It did not receive its nickname until 1832, five years after Beethoven's death. It was the critic Ludwig Rellstab who compared the music to a moonlighting on Lake Lucerne. This comparison was adopted as a nickname for the work. Called Quasi una fantasia by the author - like its companion Op. 27, No. 1 - the piece was completed in 1801 and dedicated the following year to one of the composer's pupils. Beethoven chose to open the sonata with a slow, hypnotic arpeggio movement, the best known of the entire work. The dotted rhythm of its minimal melody evokes the tradition of 'Trauermusik' (funeral music).
