Carlo Tessarini was a violinist born near Rimini. He led a peripatetic life holding important posts in Venice, Urbino, but never staying anywhere for more than six years. He wrote instrumental music, mainly for strings and does not seem to have written any vocal music. Much of his music was published both with and without his permission during his long lifetime. He died in Amsterdam aged 76.

Composed by Marin Marais (1656 - 1728). Arranged by Edited & arranged by Pat Spence. Baroque,Concert,Graduation,Wedding. 38 pages. Piper Publications #6132023. Published by Piper Publications (A0.811772).

This is the third of a set of three Pièces en trio published in Paris in 1692 which have previously been attributed to Jean Baptiste Lully.  The scoring indicated was ‘ Pour les Flutes, violin, & Dessus ve Viole Composées par M. Marais, Ordinaire, de la Musique de la Chambre du Roy.’ The dedication was to Mademoiselle Roland.

The Suite has thirteen separate movements though the Double is a variation of the preceding Gavotte and the four Menuets would have been played without a break. In editing the Suite I have modernised the musical notation e.g. notes tied over bar/measure lines indicated by a dot are shown as tied notes of the correct value. All editings are shown in parentheses ( ) or dashed lines. No dynamic markings are indicated in the original edition and, as these are very much a matter of individual taste, I have left them to your discretion.

The suite is for three equal players of intermediate standard and above. The movements are, Prelude, Sarabande, Fantaisie champetre, Gavotte en rondeau, Double, Gigue, Bransle Village, Rigaudon, 4 Menuets & Symphonie.

The arrangement includes a clarinet, an instrument which was being developed from the chalumeau in the late seventeenth century by Johan Denner and his son in Nuremburg.

Composed by Pietro Antonio Locatelli (1695 - 1764). Arranged by Pat Spence. Baroque,Concert,Graduation,Instructional,Standards. 26 pages. Piper Publications #6345463. Published by Piper Publications (A0.811794).

This is the fifth of six trio sonatas opus 5 first published in 1736. Although a clarinet would not have been available at the time of composition, the piece has been edited to preserve the Baroque style. Locatelli wrote the sonatas for violins or flutes with continuo and would have expected them to be played by what instruments were available. All edits are shown in parentheses ( ) or dashed lines. The clarinet part is in A. The three movements, Largo - Andante and Allegros in, respectively common and triple time provide equal independent parts for players of intermediate standard and above. The balance of the ensemble requires careful attention and players may wish to take turns to improvise short cadenzas at the pauses (fermatas).
