Your Recorder Community

Online Event

Earth, Wind and Fire!
 
Rachel Begley, our Inaugural Music Director, returns to NAVRS in September with a playing meeting loosely inspired by the four classical elements: earth, water, wind and fire.  The music for the session is somehow connected with three out of the four of these: with earth, with wind, and with fire.  You may have heard of this combination elsewhere...  
 
The richly varied selection of pieces will include a beautiful ensemble setting of divisions upon a ground, a section from an evocative Renaissance Mass, and an arrangement of a movement from a dynamic baroque concerto.  There may even be an unusual bonus piece or two!  With a little historical background and a short illustration of how each piece "works", Rachel's goal is to make this amazing music more and more enjoyable for us to play, while also helping us refine our skills as music makers.  She will also show us some connections between our recorder technique and each of these three elements with some useful and memorable tips.  
 
For every piece there will be something for everyone: easier parts for those who prefer them, and challenging ones too for those who want to spice things up!  There will even be options for those with larger instruments.
