4 SATB. There is not much music for adults that is both interesting and easy. I hope that 'Ann's Choice' will help to fill the gap. Volume 1, for DTrTB quartets, offers nearly a quarter of an hour of music by Tallis, Susato, Bonelli, Handel and Webber, as well as a traditional country dance. Whatever the original forces, I have arranged all of the music for DTrTB recorders. The keys are friendly and, other than two top As for descants, there are no notes higher than three fingers in the upper register.

4 SATB. Bransle de Chevaux  - In Dew of Roses  - What Poor Astronomers  - Paduan  - Sinfonia  - Galliarda. Ann says: 'There is not much music for adults that is both interesting and easy. All too often music that is easy is also a bit childish. I hope that the series 'Ann's Choice' will help to fill the gap. Volume 5, the second set for DTrTB quartets, offers six pieces of music from the Renaissance. This is proper adult music by lesser-known composers - Thoinot Arbeau, Paul Peuerl, Salomone Rossi and Balthasar Fritsch, as well as lesser-known works by famous composers - Thomas Morley and John Dowland. Whatever the original forces, I have arranged all of the music for DTrTB recorders. The keys are friendly and, other than a single descant top Bb, there are no notes higher than two fingers in the upper register for any instrument. Speeds are suggestions only; I have chosen music that I believe will still work well slightly slower than marked. '

4 SATB. Au Temps Heureux  - Quando Ritrovo La Mia Pastorella  - A Toy  - Ce Moys De May  - Madonna Mia Fa  - Carmen  - Allez, Souspirs 
Ann says: 'There is not much music for adults that is both interesting and easy. All too often music that is easy is also a bit childish. I hope that the series 'Ann's Choice' will help to fill the gap. Volume 7, the third set of DTrTB quartets, offers seven pieces of music from the first half of the sixteenth century. This is proper adult music by lesser-known composers and lesser-known works by famous composers. Whatever the original forces, I have arranged all of the music for DTrTB recorders. The keys are friendly, and I have arranged things such that no player ever has to go higher than three fingers in the upper register for any instrument. In fact the descants never rise above an F. '

4 SATB. We made these arrangements for a playing session at the 2010 Cheltenham Recorder Festival, which we had been invited to share. The set comprises an arrangement by each of us of both Scarborough Fair and (the less well-known) Brigg Fair. We hope you will find the arrangements tuneful and interesting! They are on the easy side of moderate.
