A waltz. Written in 3/4, but it really should be more like 3/8 I'm thinking. I played it at quarter = 144 and it sounded about as fast as other examples on the web. This is from the Winter Music Festival 2012 music. SA+8B.

An "Air" by Handel, from a German book of recorder music first published in 1936. Ostensibly for 2 sopranos, but I played it with Tenors to ease the screechiness.
