12 Solo Quadrilles for Great Bass Recorder
Originally written for small orchestras or piano, our arrangements for solo Great Bass recorder work so well that it is hard to believe that the pieces weren’t written for the recorder in the first place.
This edition of stunning, not too difficult, but fun solos is the ideal companion or addition to the 25 Progressive Studies for Great Bass Recorder and a great album of show-stoppers for professionals and students alike.
Quadrilles were fashionable dances of the late 18th to19th Centuries, performed by four couples in a rectangular formation. They consist of four to six movements (or contredanses, courtly versions of English country dances that had been taken up at the court of Louis XIV and spread across Europe.) and became a craze during the 19th century.
Though hundreds of quadrille sets were composed in the 19th , the names of the five parts (or figures) remained the same, as did the steps and the figures themselves:
Le Pantalon , L’été , La Poule , (Trénis ), La Pastourelle , Finale
