Summary of This Score
"The Schott Recorder Consort Anthology" is an anthology designed for recorder ensembles wishing to explore the great repertoire of the Renaissance and the very beginning of the Baroque era. The selection covers three centuries of music (15th to 17th) and emphasizes sound effectiveness in consort, with writing that highlights voice balance and contrapuntal clarity.
The majority of the pieces are offered for various four-part configurations, making it an ideal resource for developing collective listening, intonation, and ensemble articulation. The collection is not limited to this format: it also includes duets and trios, as well as fuller scores for five and six parts, perfect for expanding the group's color palette and harmonic density.
The repertoire alternates between dances (energetic or solemn), fantasias, and transcriptions of vocal pieces. The arrangements of madrigals, songs, and sacred works provide true diversity of character, affect, and phrasing, while remaining accessible for consort practice.
Finally, the editorial indications and performance notes help approach the style (ornamentation, articulation, ensemble setting), and the introduction in Volume I serves as a valuable foundation for developing coherent ensemble musicianship.
