Recorder Composing Guide

It's too quiet in this section :-)

Anyway I found this and thought it might be of interest to some:

You can probably guess from that what I'm working on at the moment.

I am sure you will enjoy writing for these instruments Bill. I spent a lot of time writing for recorder consorts quite a few years ago as I was hired to rehearse one that consisted of mainly children of varying abilities. It was great fun and I never tired of working with them. Unfortunately they all grew up and moved on!

The observation "Massed recorders can be one of the world's truly horrible musical experiences" made me smile...

Recorders... interesting. Well I know a couple people who can play them well and they sound quite good, a bit melancholy to me if played well. But if not... well, what ceg said will do.
