Summary of This Score
With for young players, Brian Bonsor offers a small, accessible, and musical program for recorder duos, designed to quickly provide playing pleasure to students. The writing emphasizes clarity of lines, easy-to-memorize motifs, and call-and-response between the two voices, to naturally develop mutual listening and ensemble precision. Thanks to the "soprano + alto" option for the second part, this score adapts equally well to duos of the same tessitura or mixed formations, helping to explore the color and complementarity of registers.
The collection brings together five pieces with contrasting styles, each carrying an implicit pedagogical goal: Jemima to establish a simple and singing phrasing, Jumpin' around to stimulate rhythmic energy, Havin' a ball to encourage light and articulated playing, Feelin' blue to work on a more relaxed expression and sound quality, and Jubilee to conclude with a festive atmosphere. An excellent music library resource to diversify the repertoire of young flutists while consolidating intonation, articulation, and coordination in duo playing.
