CONCERTO from L’ESTRO ARMONICO Op. 3 No. 11 / Quartet SATB expandable to 8 or more as there are "Solo &
Tutti " indications. This arrangement incorporates many of the
"improvements" made by J.S. Bach. For the recorder, Glen has broken long
passages into smaller pieces and distributed them among the parts, solo and ripieno. This
helps players keep from running out of breath and also helps less-advanced groups develop
ensemble skills. Intermediate-Upper Intermediate, Score and parts. Another winner
- enjoyed by all. |

LUTE SUITE BWV 996 / Quartet SATB,
Six movements - Passaggio, Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, Bouree, Gigue. In this
arrangement he has attempted to capture the flavor of the lute chords with single and
arpeggiated grace notes. The Passaggio: is a fantasia, with solo scale passages punctuated
by homophonic statements. This piece rates an Advanced indication because
counting and teamwork are critical. Four playing scores |
