Inspired by the Flanders Recorder Quartet, at least 10 compositions by Jan Van Landeghem have seen the light of day, half of which are encores. In what is probably his best-known encore, Rimsky-Korsakov's Bumblebee ‘flies’ through Mozart's Turkish March. Even the Radetzky March by Johann Strauss makes an appearance in this extremely amusing arrangement, which is very suitable for serving the audience a beautiful and contemporary musical dessert at the end of a concert.

Christmas music from Dalmatia for two and three recorders of different tunings or any other instruments. In Volume IV of the International Music Society’s anthology, Robert Lach published organ pieces which he had heard on the island of Lussin during a Christmas midnight mass and had subsequently copied from a manuscript dated 1 December 1830. The melodies are so lovely that it seemed sensible to make them available to recorder players in a simplified version. These pastorals combine Italian and Croatian elements in a delightful blend, based on ancient folk tunes. Instead of recorders, any other instruments may be used; the violin, for example, is well suited for the lower part of the three-part arrangements.

Suite de pièces pour la Maréchalle de Villars Jaques Martin Hotteterre, known as “Le Romain” – the Roman – was born about 1680 and died at the age of 81 in Paris in 1761. Jaques Martin's father Henri was a well-known chamber musician and excellent instrument maker, so that music became accessible to him at an early age. In 1705, after a long stay in Italy, he entered the service of the French court as an instrumentalist. Jaques Martin Hotteterre, who enjoyed a high reputation as a flutist, is considered the founder of the great French flute tradition. His method book, Princips de la flûte traversière ou flûte d'Allemagne, de la flûte à bec ou flûte douce et du haut-bois, published in 1707 and reprinted shortly afterwards in the Netherlands and London, is still considered one of the fundamental works for serious flutists today. In addition to further teaching works for the flute and the musette, he wrote a large number of sonatas, duets, trios, suites and pieces, many of which were dedicated to high-ranking persons at court.
