I have played in recorder duos, chamber and orchestra groups on a very amateur basis using recorders ranging from sopranino down to bass. All the listed recorder music, some
1427 items, are in my personal library and are summarised in two indices: an index sorted
by composer and an index sorted by
settings.
The transcription of Scott Joplin's works for the recorder has been of special interest. This task which I set myself in 1998 was more or less completed by 2003, the results of which can be seen in my
Scott Joplin catalogue. I then went on to transcribe piano works of other ragtime era composers shown on the
Ragtime Recorder Music webpage.
These recorder pages contain a great deal of detailed basic information including instruments required, composer, publisher etc. Work on the anecdotes, as in the same style as on my folk-music pages, is well in progress providing a bit more flesh and blood and hopefully will make the whole thing a lot more interesting. Should any recorder enthusiast out there in cyberworld like to add to anecdotes or provide further information on any piece at all listed, then please don't hesitate to e-mail me.
In response to many surfer requests, especially from USA, a special
Recorder Sheet Music webpage was provide giving direct access to over
4368 and
1247 items of sheet music (as of 07.12.20) which can be obtained at SheetMusicPlus.com and my very own
Ditty Box Enterprises respectively.
