For Recorder Players
SOPRANO & TENOR DUET: A soprano recorder player using the sheet music linked at the top of this page can be accompanied by a tenor recorder player using sheet music linked to the button below on the left.
​
ALTO & BASS DUET: Alto and bass recorder players could play the same sheet music as soprano and tenor recorders players as if they were playing the smaller instrument (as if their F note were actually a C).
​
ALTO & GUITAR: If alto recorders play the sheet music linked at the top of the page as if playing a soprano, they will actually be a fourth higher than written. In that case, a guitarist could accompany using the sheet music linked below on the right (or a pianist playing the guitar accompaniment an octave lower than written).
​
ALTO PRACTICE TRACKS: The audio tracks further down this page are intended for people playing an alto recorder as if they were playing a soprano (so the audio tracks below are a fourth higher than those in the section above).
FYI
I had started out looking for pieces that might make nice wedding music, which explains why the only ones in minor keys are the last four stuck on the end. I often changed the key of a piece to whatever seemed easiest for me playing the recorder.
​
In an attempt to make the original Baroque sheet music a little easier to read (for me at least), most of the pieces were rewritten to have each note length doubled and each measure divided into two.
​
All articulation markings and repeat signs were intentionally left out. Feel free to slur and crescendo and repeat wherever and whenever the spirit moves you!
