Trio

Aha. One trick to getting a more live sounding recording is to use different physical instruments for different tracks which require the same one. This is a trio for SST, but I used two separate sopranos for the two top lines. From Steve Rosenberg's _The_Recorder_Book_.

Galliarde au joly boys

A suite of 3 galliards by Pierre Phalese ( 1510-1575, Leuven).  These seem pretty antique even though they're allegedly 16th century.  SATB recorders, recorded at quarter=120.  I tried speeding the tempo up to quarter=145 in Audacity and it sounded better, but I'm pretty sure that's dishonest.

Praetorius with traps

This is the ballet from the last post with a drum track added on the MBR. The Micro Boss sports 327 drum kit rhythms with names like "HEAVY1" and "H.Hp1". I decided I needed to understand this part of the device, so I picked a few random ones and made an arrangement with them.  Alas, the patterns are *all* 4/4, so they're assuming that modern pop is only in 4.  Who knew? I reckon this proves that I should use my talents for Good instead of Evil.

Ballet

Michael Praetorius's "Ballet", presumably from _Terpsichore_, 1612.  This is from Recorder Consort 4. SATB recorders.

Gracieusement

From Recorder Consort 4. Naudot was a French composer, flutist, and typesetter. This I believe is from one of his flute concertos, although I can't be sure.  From Recorder Consort 4; duet for 2 alto recordcers

Whither Away so Fast

An arrangement  for SST recorders of Thomas Morley's famous canzonet from Recorder Consort 4  ( Steve Rosenberg, Boosey & Hawkes, 1995). My first attempt at editing out a page turn in Audacity. Not wholly successful. You can hear the top Soprano seem to come in a little early 'cause I didn't leave quite enough silence in. Hmm.

Paso Media

French, 14th century dance. SAT with tambourine track. Another possible song for the end of Mar.

Prince Edward's Pavane

Prince Edward's Pavane.  Played Alto-tenor-tenor-Bass.

Amaryllis

Another tune we might do at the end of March. From Playford I think.

Hole in the Wall

This dance is usually attributed to Henry Purcell.  This version is close to what we'll play end of March.
