Basse Dance

Friday Feb 19, 2010
From _Music of the Renaissance for 3 Recorders_, Edward B. Marks 1967. This source claims it is originally "from Pierre Atteignant's 'Quatorze Galliards', 1530". I think they mean Pierre Attaignant, who from his wikipedia article was a French music publisher with some technical advancements to his credit.

Luis Milan

Monday Feb 15, 2010
A Pavane written in 1536 by Don Luis Milan, I presume originally for lute. From _Music of the Renaissance for Three Recorders_ (Erich Katz, Edward B Marks Music Company, 1967). This is the way levels and pan should work I think. The soprano part is in the middle at full, everyone else is off to one side or the other and 15-25% softer. A pavane is a relatively slow dance.

Almaine 2

Friday Feb 12, 2010
From "Renaissance Songs and Dances for Recorders", an American Recorder Society edition originally published in 1967. Thomas Lupo lived 1571-1627. I'm now experimenting with levels and stereo balance; I tried to make the top soprano pop out a little here. Any out-of-tune-ness is purely my own. Four parts, including two sopranos lines.

This is probably a bit beyond my ability. But what's a heaven for? From Johann Mattheson "8 sonatas for 3 Alto (treble) recorders", published in 1721 or thereabouts. I'm playing from the Hargail Music Press edition, edited by M. Kolinski. Three parts, all alto recorder.
