Recorder - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.898100 Composed by Anon. Arranged by Douglas Brooks-Davies. Christmas,Classical. Recorder Ensemble. 47 pages. Douglas Brooks-Davies #3861389. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898100). Five Christmas Carols from the 7th to 16th centuries, arranged for sopranino, descant, treble, tenor, bass and great bass recorders. These atmospheric new arrangements are ideal for any Christmas or pre-Christmas concert, and especially for church performance. The five carols are: Resonet in laudibus (Let the voice of praise resound); There is no rose of swych vertu; Nova! nova! (News! news!); As I rode out this enderes [the other] night; Conditor alme siderum (Creator of the starry height). In each case the original setting is followed by increasingly full harmonies, the sopranino being used as a virtuoso decorative obbligato instrument (for example, providing birdlike sounds in #4, to illustrate the refrain 'so merrily the shepherds their pipes can blow'). Total duration: 7 minutes.
