Whole Group Pieces (4 or 5 parts):

Introduction to the Recorder:  Rik has an adapted piece of around 2 minutes, which introduces each instrument in turn, so listeners can distinguish descant / treble / tenor / bass+counterbass, finishing with all 4 in harmony:  Easy end of intermediate difficulty.

Pachelbel's Canon:  Jonathan has a shortened version for Descant / Treble / Tenor / Bass. Harder end of intermediate difficulty

Trios:


Duets:
Rik has Pitt's duet books for C instruments (Descant and/or Tenor), willing to share and play with a 2nd person - a wide range of pieces including:

Book 3:   "American Patrol", "Habenera" from Bizet's Carmen, Purcell's "Fear no danger", Borodin's "Polovtsian Dances", Gershwin "Summertime" and MacDowell's "To a Wild Rose".  These range from easier intermediate to harder intermediate.

Rik also has Pitt's duets for Descant and Tenor, mainly beginner to early intermediate
​


Solo:


Looking further ahead, we have loads more familiar and possible new music to choose from once we are back playing together - some for the whole group, some for smaller ensembles, some accessible to all of us, and some that will challenge our more advanced players.

Group Leader: Ian Boothroyd
