Folks from England und Ireland For enthusiasts of English and Irish folk music, Hans Joachim Teschner compiled a selection of the most appealing songs, spirituals and ballads. As in many of his other publications, the editor placed particular emphasis on ease of playing.

Arcangelo Corelli, the real representative of classical Italian violin music, was a significant violin virtuoso, who, avoiding outer dazzling bravado, practised a simple and expressive style. He is at the end of a series of Italian composers of solo and trio sonatas, a series which can be traced through the whole of the 17th century. The striving, so typical of that period, for the perfect, which is solely based on beauty and harmony, has found its purest expression in his works. The master is of special importance as the creator of the „Concerto grosso“. The present sonata is No. 8 from Arcangelo Corelli’s Sonate a violino e violone o cimbalo , Op. 5, a collection of twelve sonatas first published in Rome in 1700 and dedicated to Sophie Charlotte, Electress of Brandenburg. To better suit the range and characteristics of the recorder, the sonata has been transposed from its original key of E minor, with only a few octave displacements being necessary.

The delightful arrangements by Piet Swerts, originally recorded by the Flanders Recorder Quartet for the CD accompanying volume 1 of the Easy Going recorder method, are now available in print. Written for either piano or recorder, all of the arrangements are of a moderate level of difficulty, making them ideal for piano students of a similar age or more advanced recorder players to provide the accompaniment. At the same time, this collection is equally valuable for anyone who is not using the Easy Going method, offering attractive accompaniments to a wide selection of well-known songs.

30 of the most beautiful Christmas carols. The editor shows how easy playability and musical sophistication can be skillfully combined. The keys of the songs have been chosen so that recorder and guitar can make music together without a great deal of prior practice. The guitarist will also find fingering patterns for the chords contained in the accompaniment.

Who among us doesn’t enjoy singing whilst hiking, during a break, around a campfire or at a social gathering? These songs are great fun: they lift the spirits, their rhythm gets into your blood – because doing things together is twice as enjoyable. The most beautiful and well-known songs from the rich treasure trove of German-language hiking songs are collected here, illustrated and accompanied by sheet music. They can be sung or played on the recorder or guitar. A generous and clear layout of the sheet music makes it easy to read the melodies. The chosen, easy-to-play keys allow even the less experienced recorder player to join in. The classic instrument for the hiking song, the guitar, has not been forgotten either. Simple and easy-to-read chord fingerings allow for effortless accompaniment of the songs.

The second volume is dedicated to learning to play in two parts. In the first part, children between the ages of five and eight gain confidence in dealing with time, rhythm and reading and writing notes through the playful development of the c‘-d’' range. On this basis, the 2nd part introduces polyphonic playing, extends the range further and offers the opportunity to familiarise themselves with different articulation possibilities, time signatures and keys. The child-friendly large notes of the first part gradually change into smaller and smaller notes until the usual proportions are finally reached. After completing both volumes, the young recorder player will have skills and knowledge that can be regarded as a versatile basis for further development.
