Summary of This Score
This collection brings together 38 emblematic pieces from the French Baroque repertoire, selected from several major composers: Jean-Baptiste Lully, André Cardinal Destouches, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Marin Marais, and others. Designed for an expressive and balanced duo, this edition is aimed at recorder players wishing to explore the refinement of dances, airs, and character pieces typical of the French tradition, with all that it entails in terms of phrasing, articulation, and elegance.
The proposed instrumentation, soprano or alto recorder and harpsichord, allows adaptation of the tessitura according to your instrument and playing comfort. The harpsichord provides the harmonic foundation and continuo color, while the recorder highlights the melodic line and stylistic inflections. Michel Sanvoisin's realization contributes to a fluid and musical reading, facilitating rehearsal setup and achieving a coherent performance in concert. An excellent choice for working on Baroque style (breathing, ornaments, contrasts, and dance) while building a ready-to-play repertoire.
