Alto Recorder,Bass Recorder,Soprano Recorder,Tenor Recorder - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1130366 By Douglas Brooks-Davies. By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Arranged by Douglas Brooks-Davies. Classical. Recorder Ensemble. 39 pages. Douglas Brooks-Davies #730733. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.1130366). Six fun pieces arranged for the first time for recorder quartet (SATB). All save one of these pieces comes from the London Sketchbook (K.15), composed when Mozart was 8. They are written quickly in pencil in two parts, and in many cases invite arrangement into wind pieces. Here we have: 1. Allegro, KV33b); 2. Andante, K15mm; 3. Andantino, K15b; 4. Contredanse K15h and KV Anh 109b, no 6; 5. Allegro, K15a; Contredanse, K15gg . The originals are untitled. I have used the titles in The London Sketchbook, transcribed RSB (IMSLP). All tempo markings and dynamics are editorial.

Alto Recorder,Instrumental Solo,Piano - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.898115 Composed by Carl Scheindienst (c.1800). Arranged by Douglas Brooks-Davies. Concert,Romantic Period. Score and individual part. 26 pages. Douglas Brooks-Davies #6252455. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898115). A new arrangement for alto or sopranino recorder with piano accompaniment. The original, entitled Variations sur l'Air Gestern Abend war Vetter Michel da (c. 1815), is for csakan in G and guitar (sounding in C). This arrangement retains the original key and fingering (csakan fingering is virtually identical to that of the recorder), and offers an accompaniment that retains the lightness and transparency of the original guitar chording.

Piano,Recorder Solo,Soprano Recorder - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.898116 Composed by Carl Scheindienst. Arranged by Douglas Brooks-Davies. Concert,Romantic Period,Standards. Individual part. 25 pages. Douglas Brooks-Davies #6266411. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898116). A lovely set of variations on the Austrian folk song 'Cousin Michael was there last night'. Originally for csakan or 'romantic recorder' (tuned to G) and guitar, this arrangement, for soprano recorder and piano, offers the recorder part in the original printed key of G - so we play almost exactly the same fingering as the csakan. The guitar part, however, originally written out in the sounding key of C, has been arranged for piano and transposed to G. The piano part keeps as closley as possible to the simple unobtrusiveness of the guitar, with minimal filling out, mainly in the right hand. Metronome markings are ediorial. Slurs, dynamics, etc. are as in the original (where I have added simile, it is to be understood that the slurring of the  preceding bars is to be followed all through). Nothing is known of the composer. The piece was published in Vienna in 1815.

Woodwind Ensemble Flute - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.898094 Composed by Camille Saint-Saens. Arranged by Douglas Brooks-Davies. Concert,Standards. 67 pages. Douglas Brooks-Davies #3418021. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898094). Saint-Saens’s popular and haunting waltz for solo violin and orchestra in an arrangement for small flute choir (3fl, afl bfl).The piece is difficult, so flute 1 is best played by a soloist. Each part has a share of the action , and the whole thing is immense fun to play. Duration 9 minutes. This arrangement was originally commissioned by Dorking Flutes, Surrey.

Recorder - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.898111 Composed by Various. Arranged by Douglas Brooks-Davies. Christmas,Classical,Renaissance. Recorder Ensemble. 83 pages. Douglas Brooks-Davies #4994065. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898111). Five carols for a minimum of 6 recorders (SAATTB) in exciting new arrangements. This is an invaluable resource for a thrilling Christmas concert or for church use. 1) Come, O come, Emmanuel (Veni Emmanuel); 2) Praetorius, Quem pastores in its rare original form, played antiphonally with Nunc angelorum gloria hominibus...; 3) Praetorius, Es ist ein ros' entsprungen; 4) Melchior Vulpius, Es ist ein ros' entsprungen (canon, based on Praetorius's harmonies); 5) Praetorius, In dulci jubilo for 6 voices. This last is arranged from his exciting 11-part version of 1619. Voicing is for a minimum of 6 instruments, but as many as possible can be added, and for the last piece, add drums, cymbals, or whatever you can to maximise the jubilant noise.

Chamber Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.898092 Composed by Douglas Brooks-Davies. Contemporary. Score and parts. 21 pages. Douglas Brooks-Davies #3417333. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898092). A nostalgic movement, exploiting the pastoral associations of the oboe and inspired by the sense of loss that informs A.E.Housman's Shropshire Lad. As a century and more separates us from the devastating conflict of World War One, the work implicitly evokes those themes of Housman's poems that led The Shropshire Lad to become so popular after 1914.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.898093 Composed by Douglas Brooks-Davies. Christian,Christmas,Contemporary. Octavo. 7 pages. Douglas Brooks-Davies #3417453. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898093). Advent Anthem is an original setting of stanzas from Christina Rossetti's Advent (1858), a poem that beautifully evokes the intensity and duration of the Advent season. I have chosen the stanzas that  emphasise the pain of the waiting, and the fusion of Christ's birth with parable of the virgins awaiting the midnight arrival of the Bridegroom - in other words, the burst of joy in which the season culminates. Accompaniment for rehearsal only. Duration, 3 minutes.

Piano,Recorder Solo,Soprano Recorder - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.898117 Composed by Willem de Fesch (1687-1761). Arranged by Douglas Brooks-Davies (1942-). Baroque,Concert. Individual part. 19 pages. Douglas Brooks-Davies #6287455. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898117). One of the Op 4 Sonatas (1725) and originally for violin, this Sonata In G has become a favourite with recorder players, though not easy to obtain. This edition contains (1) soprano recorder part, with editorial trills and mordents, plus a written out ornamented cadence to the penultimate bar of the opening Largo; (2) keyboard part with figured bass; (3) bass continuo (cello, viola da gamba, or bassoon).  All tempo markings are editorial; the keyboard realisation is editorial and can, of course, be modified at will, as can ornamentation of the recorder part.  NOTE: a limitation of my notation software has necessitated using hash for the figured bass sharp sign, and for the figured natural, I have used hash cancelled with a slash. A lovely, approachable Sonata.

Recorder - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.898101 Composed by Mauro GIULIANI (1781-1828). Arranged by Douglas Brooks-Davies. Romantic Period,Standards. Recorder Ensemble. 46 pages. Douglas Brooks-Davies #3436331. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898101).  Among the many compositions for guitar by the celebrated guitarist Mauro Giuliani (1781-1828) is a collection of 16 charmingly tuneful dances, published under the title La Tersicore del Nord (The Northern Tersicore, this being the name of the ancient Greek muse of the dance), thereby suggesting that Giuliani felt the collection to be inspired in some way by what he understood to be a northern European spirit. Here are six of them, nos 6, 7, 10, 11, 12 and 13, arranged for recorder quartet - soprano (descant), alto (treble), tenor and bass. The melodies are Giuliani's, the rest is mine, each part being given some at least of the fun in these engaging pieces. Tempo indications are also editorial. The guitar original - treble line with occasional accompanying notes or chords - can be found at IMSLP.

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.
