4 Sonatas (recorder and Continuo)

Jacques Loeillet is the least known of the three composers of the Loeillet family. Born in 1685 he worked at the court of Munich then moved to France and continued his career under the names of Jacob Jean Baptiste Loeillet (perhaps trying to capitalise on his cousin's reputation). His publications include a set of six flute sonatas with continuo.

Six Recorder Sonatas. At the beginning of the 18th century, the recorder enjoyed great popularity as a solo instrument for amateurs. Among these were also the princesses of the English court, for whose musical entertainment and training Handel?s six recorder sonatas were probably written in 1725/26. Only four of them appeared shortly thereafter in print and thus also reached a broader audience; the other two were first discovered for the recorder in the 20th century. Thanks to their melodic and rhythmic incisiveness, the pieces, whose recorder parts are relatively easily mastered, number among the most beautiful written for this instrument. Owing to wide-ranging bass lines and copious figures, the continuo instrument requires a rather well-versed player. In the score of the Urtext edition, Ullrich Scheideler provides a moderate continuo realisation; the additionally available performance score (HN 1574) with figured basso part offers the advanced musician latitude for his/her own improvisation.

The popularity of Handel?s recorder sonatas can easily be gauged by the sheer number of old and modern publications of them. This edition unites the six authentic sonatas and also includes the early version of movement no. 6 to the D minor sonata. It is based on the eminently reliable text of the Halle Handel Edition the ?last word? in Handel scholarship.The G minor A minor C major and F major sonatas were originally edited by Hans Peter Schmitz in 1955 for the Halle Handel Edition. These sonatas were then re-edited in 1995 by Terence Best.The publication contains a thorough discussion of the history and genesisof the works and handy tips dealing with performance practice by the renowned Handel scholar Terence Best. In addition to the score the edition has a solo recorder part and a bass part with figures.A must publication for performers of Handel?s beloved music for recorder.This publication replaces the older Hortus Musicus nos. 251 269.Authoritative edition based on the reliable Urtext of the Halle Handel EditionPerformance practice tips (English/German)Score with solo recorder part and bass part with figures?Let?s hope that this is the final ?scholarly edition? of the Handel recorder sonatas.

Score with lightly realised (and figured) Basso Continuo and 3 parts (Treble Recorder I II Basso Continuo)Giuseppe Sammartini (1695-1750) was already famous as an oboist in Italy before distinguishing himself in England as a composer and virtuoso.In this edition we have transposed his Trio Sonatas for two Flutes or Violins to a range ideally suited to the Treble Recorder.The work was popular during Sammartini's lifetime and stands out because of its melodic richness and imaginative treatment of counterpoint and harmony.

For Recorder And Fig. Bass. Cello Ad Lib.. Par VERACINI FRANCESCO MARIA. A- Flûte à Bec - Piano / Kolneder / Répertoire / Flûte à Bec ou Alto et Clavier

treble recorder (flute, oboe, violin) and basso continuo; harpsichord (Pianoforte), cello (viola da gamba) ad lib. These recorder sonatas by Gottfried Finger have been copied from an edition by the London publisher John Walsh. They are pretty pieces, very similar in form and invention to the recorder sonatas of Daniel Purcell (cf. ED 3693 and 4732) and from the same period. They are, moreover, just as charming and just as easy to play.
