Suite aus "The Fairy Queen", für Blockflötenquartett und Basso continuo, Partitur + Stimmen

Staeps (rightly) believes that the English Baroque is the fountainhead of recorder music, and that Purcell's music is the perfect vehicle. Here, he takes six excerpts from The Fairy Queen (introductions and dances) and fashions a Suite for recorder quartet with basso continuo (keyboard instrument with another bass instrument playing an octave lower than the bass recorder). For advanced quartets. Reprint of the 1957 UE original. Instrumentation: for recorder quartet and harpsichord (piano)
