Menuet

Menuet from Recorder Consort 4 which we will play (hopefully getting the 1st note right) at the end of March.

Rondeau Marin Marais

This is my take on what we'll be performing at the end of March. I saved the tracks if anyone's interested in MM1 playing.

Fantasy 19 Cantabile

The Cantabile from Telemann's Fantasy 19 in C Major. From Christa Sokoll's excellent _Telemann 36 Fantasien fur altblockflote und tenorblockflote ein methodisches duettbuch in 4 tielen_ (vol 3) (Noetzel 1985). Tenor and Alto recorder.

Basse Dance

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.

La Rocha El Fuso

Gagliarda "La Rocha El Fuso", anonymous from around 1530.

Luis Milan

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

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.

Sonata 1 in C March

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.

I Smile to See How You Devise

A galliard from 1570, from "The Consort Collection (Volume 1) ed. by Larry Bernstein. Anonymous. Four parts.

fatal la parte

From The Consort Collection Vol 1 by Larry Bernstein (Dolce, Brighton, England). Notes indicate it was written about 1510 by Juan Del Encina.  I think this was originally a song about a straying wife.
