Some pieces may been edited since you last played them, so please check edition dates. Some pieces are new. Titles in brown can be downloaded and printed (click on the brown title). Titles in black cannot be downloaded. If unsure, the links are the always to the latest versions. Please download and print changed versions, plus any music you do not already have, so that you know you are playing the same as the rest of us. You may find it helpful to date music as you print it, to make it easier to check for any new or revised music in the future.
We started the year with these pieces that we have played relatively recently, so that we can bring them up to concert standard by autumn:
• Introducing the Recorder (v1 Sept 21)
• All ye that cried unto the Lord (v1 IB Sept 20)
• Giga (v2 Jul 21)
• La Mourisque (Aug 21)
• O nata lux (Tallis) (Aug 20)
• Pachelbel Canon (v2, 8 Dec 21) - updated recently! (full score, 4 pages only)
• St Anthony Chorale (v6, Jan 22) (full score, 2 pages only)
• Three Welsh Songs (Aug 21) (Warning - choose the pages you want: Individual parts are available after the several pages of full score)
• Ukraine's Glory (Feb 22)
We have a tasty menu of new items too:
• When you taught me how to dance v1, Dec 21 (a delightful and easy one to start off with, which may please any Beatrix Potter fans: Try listening to this: Katie Melua - When You Taught Me How To Dance (Official Video) - YouTube
• April is in my mistress’ face v2 Jan 2022
• Hushabye Mountain (a good challenge – especially the tenor part) NEW, but dated Oct 20: Please print and bring with you. Tenor players will need to practice beforehand!
• Tarleton’s Jig NEW Jan 2022 and updated to v2 on 20 March 22: Please print and bring with you
and
Tarleton’s Riserrectione NEW Feb 22: Please print and bring with you

Hymn Medley: Please download and print either for Descant+Treble or Tenor+Bass
In the Fossil Cave (Courtesy of of Camberra U3A Recorders) (See Ian's e-mail with this sent to members)
Sing We and Chant It (Madrigal) AND Lullaby by Byrd: Please download & print both.
NEW (July 2022) and updated for 3rd August with changes to the "Extra", Tenor and Bass parts of "Summertime":
Ian has kindly transcribed and now updated "Summertime" and has also dug out an old favourite, "Skye Boat Song": please download and print both.
New (May 2022) and updated for 3rd August - Please print (several significant changes):
David Wright has kindly arranged a 7 part version of the "Whitlock Folk Tunes": Please read what David has said about the piece below:
Full Score (6 pages)
Descant & Treble (2 pages)
Tenor & Bass (2 pages)
Bass & Great Bass (2 pages)
David says: "Percy Whitlock's Folk Tune is from his Five Short Pieces for Organ. The lovely flowing melody covers a wide range so I've shared it between the Descants and Trebles, and occasionally between the tenors and basses. The organ pedal part is a solo effort for Jonathan's Contrabass. A couple of meandering interludes between the verses add some interest. I hope you all enjoy it!"
Rik adds: I found it useful to listen to the original Organ piece - for example this one though be aware that we would probably play slightly faster as organs have larger lungs than we have!
Looking even further ahead, we still have loads more familiar and possible new music to choose from. Some is for the whole group, some for smaller ensembles, some accessible to all of us, and some that will challenge our more advanced players.
