Summary of This Collection
This collection by Donald Randall highlights a jazz aesthetic serving an original formation: recorder and wind ensemble. It is aimed at musicians who wish to explore more contemporary colors while maintaining a structured ensemble framework. The combination of the recorder with a wind ensemble provides a particularly interesting contrast between solo timbre and orchestral mass, ideal for working on balance, projection, and listening.
Musically, the jazz approach encourages attention to pulse, rhythmic placement, and the quality of attacks. It is an excellent resource to strengthen articulation, entry precision, dynamic control, and ensemble cohesion. The dialogue passages between the recorder and the winds also help develop responsiveness, phrase shaping, and clarity of intention-essential elements both in rehearsal and on stage.
Whether you are preparing an audition program, an ensemble workshop, or a concert with more modern sounds, this collection is a stimulating resource. It enriches the repertoire by offering a credible and musical alternative while remaining focused on collective practice and the joy of playing together.
