Danse de Berger
Sunday Apr 25, 2010
Sunday Apr 25, 2010
Another susato dance, from Recorder Consort 2. ATTB with tambourine. Learning to do post-production right -- this has noise cancellation to cut out the evil 60-cycle hum caused by the MBR wall wort.

Carmen in Re

Friday Apr 23, 2010
From a book of original Renaissance manuscripts which I cannot locate at the moment. SATB recorders. Properly noise-cancelled and edited.

Parade des Bouffons

Tuesday Apr 20, 2010
Another Susato piece for SATB, from _Recorder_Consort_2_. This was encoded in .wav format and then extensively hacked in Audacity before final reduction to mp3. On headphones, the Micro-Boss powered with the stock wall wort reveals an obtrusive 60-cycle hum. I noise-reduced that out for this piece. You can still hear some artifacts of the noise-reduction process though. I also boosted the volume.

Prelude

Sunday Apr 18, 2010
A prelude by Henry Purcell. Recorded SST but then lowered from "F" to "A" with Audacity. It might be better to try STT with these.

Branle de la Torche

Thursday Apr 15, 2010
Another branle by Michael Praetorius. I played this AABB but it should probably have been AABBA, or maybe even more repetitions with percussion. From _Recorder_Consort_4_, for SSATB recorders. I boosted the volume in post with Audacity.

Le Renoy de Mon Ceur

Sunday Apr 11, 2010
From Five Renaissance Manuscripts ( Edward G Evans, Hargail Music Press H-98). This is a really difficult piece. But it's real Renaissance Polyphony. SAT recorders.

Chorale

Monday Apr 05, 2010
A four-part chorale by Bach. From _Ten_Bach_Chorales_in_Four_Parts_ (Susato Press, Brasstown NC). This was so short that I gave it the "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt" treatment.
