Four Recorders

4 SATT & bc

4 SATB & bc

Horn solo + 4 SATB. Knowing that I was going to be conducting a group which included the horn player Shirley Brown, I wrote this concertino so that we could explore the way that these very different instruments can work together. The 'orchestral' parts are quite straightforward, while the horn part is no more than moderately difficult. The solo part would work well on a tenor horn, and probably slightly less well on a tenor saxophone; please contact me if you would like a suitably transposed part.

Solo inst. + SATB recorders. These varied short pieces can be played successfully by quite a variety of solo instruments. The two main requirements are an ability to play the range of C3 (that's the one below middle C) to Bb4, and to be loud enough to be heard against a group of recorders - in other words fairly low and fairly loud. Possibilities are hence a tenor saxophone, French horn, Eb horn, and that eternal standby the synthesiser. Parts for these instruments are included.
