The Recorder Anthology - Volume 2 (French and Spanish Music). By Various. Arranged by Bernard Thomas. For Recorder (Recorder). Schott. Playing score. 44 pages. Schott Music #ED12388. Published by Schott Music.

“The Schott Recorder Consort Anthology” presents a wealth of music from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries. Although the bulk of the collection is laid out for a variety of four-part ensembles there are also duets and trios, as well as five- and six-part pieces.

The repertoire includes both original instrumental works and transcriptions of vocal pieces. There are lively and stately dances, fantasias, and arrangements of expressive madrigals, catchy chansons and more restrained religious pieces; all are chosen for their effective realization by recorder consorts. 136 Renaissance pieces with notes on sources, editorial technique and interpretation.
