'Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves' was commissioned by the Flanders Recorder Quartet for the 1991 Recorder Week in Kampenhout (Belgium). The music roughly follows the well-known story of Ali Baba and uses the typical modes of the Middle East as well as a few contemporary playing techniques.

The parts are also available separately (3,00 Euro each). PLease contact us or send us an e-mail .

Bach's Fuga in a enchants with its rhythmic power and constant energy from the first to the last note. Bach's typical writing style and the theme with all its leaps and bounds make the composition a challenge for all four players.

Giovanni Pedaggio chose two exquisite vocal works as a model for his diminutions, the song texts of which are included in the edition. What is striking about ‘Con qué la lavaré’ is that all the parts of the original work were diminished and not, as is usually the case, only the upper part. In this case, ‘Mille Regretz’ by Josquin des Prez is an example in which Pedaggio shows how it is possible to portray the passion of the text even in diminutions.

Schubert's only work for organ, the four-hand fugue in E minor from 1828, was arranged for recorder quartet and transposed to D minor for this edition.

Suite No. 20 from ‘Banchetto musicale’ Shortly after his appointment as Thomaskantor in Leipzig, Johann Hermann Schein published one of the first German collections of instrumental pieces, the ‘Banchetto Musicale’, in 1617. In it, he succeeded in combining traditional dance forms (Paduane - Gagliarde - Courante - Allemande - Tripla) with new compositional ideas. Content: 1. Padouana 2. Gagliarda 3. Courente 4. Allemande 5. Tripla

Frans Geysen's composition contains a double joke for recorder players: blowing on bottles instead of recorders is an attraction in itself. In the course of the piece, the beginning of a familiar melody emerges from the interplay, which further increases the astonishment of the listeners. A performance on recorders is just as possible, but certainly not as fascinating.

BWV 595 is part of a concerto arranged by Bach for Prince Johann Ernst of Saxony, the original of which has unfortunately not survived. This light, lively composition without airs and graces is a very dynamic piece in the version for recorder quartet, in which the bass recorder also comes into its own. Every part in the fugue BWV 545 is equally attractive. This work, originally written for organ, has been arranged here for recorder quartet. The monumentality of the organ version gives way to an intimate dialogue between four individual instruments and the personality of their players, and this edition of Bach's music offers a pleasant addition to the recorder repertoire.
