Recorder - Jean
Our recorder ensemble have been playing since the Spring of 2016. There are 6 of us that regular play twice a month and thoroughly enjoy our time mastering the pieces that we play.
We have been practicing many of the Playford dances which are 17th-18th century pieces along with tunes such as Rondo (Mozart), Beckett Blues (Pitts) and tunes such as An Eriskay Love Lilt which is a Hebridean Folk Song, American Patrol and Yellow Bird (Calypso). As you can see quite a varied repertoire!
Five of our members have been playing since the beginning and between us we play descant, Treble and Tenor recorders. If you would like to come along and hear us play or join you would be more than welcome.
