THE QUARTER-TONE RECORDER MANUAL / This book applies itself to the
increasing use of quarter-tones in new repertoire for the recorder through the development
of a suitable fingering system; It is presented as a graded tutor with specially written
studies, which provide practice material. Written for the Alto recorder the
principle can be applied to all other sizes. The exercises and studies demand a rapid
advancement intended for the experienced player. Most quarter-tone intervals are no more
difficult in themselves than the usual 12 chromatic notes. The player will be surprised at
how quickly the ear attunes to the smaller distances of the intervals. It is hoped,
therefore, that even a player of modest technical accomplishment may 'dip-in', perhaps
learning one new fingering at a time. Includes music list and fingering chart. 43 pages |

THE RECORDER PLAYER'S COMPANION / "…is a compendium of
technical exercises for recorder players; it is meant to be a daily companion. It is
divided into four parts: breathing, blowing, fingers and tongue. The exercises in each
part are arranged in order of increasing difficulty, but can be used in any order by
players already familiar with them. My intention in writing this book was to provide a
selection of exercises that players of all levels can use for daily technique work…I
hope that each one of you will find enjoyment in working with technique. Feeling (and
hearing) one's improvement is very rewarding…" Frances Blaker 41 pages |

THE COMPLETE ARTICULATOR / "…intended to provide a
training program for the perfect control of articulation syllables on the recorder and
other wind instruments. I have chosen single and double articulation forms as the building
blocks of the system, using either repeated single syllable (t or d), or a
mixture of strong and weak syllables (t-d, t-r, t-k, d-g, d-r, etc.) in any
combination, in order to achieve complete freedom of diction…." Kees Boecke |

THE MODERN RECORDER PLAYER Vol. I / "The aim of this
and the following volumes is not in the first place to tell you about the interpretation
of old or modern music. Instead, it will concentrate on the less subjective aspects of
recorder playing: essentially the technique, and how that technique can be used in a
musical way… The art of playing and performing is basically a composite of three
kinds of skills: a) The purely musical one: the personal "abstract" emotion b)
The technical one: the purely physical aspect c) The so-called
"musically-oriented" technique: how to transform a musical idea into the
corresponding sound…It is mainly about the 2nd & 3rd
aspects of playing that I will write. These writings are not intended only for pure
amateurs: they are strongly addressed to their instructors, for whom it is important to
know how to teach the recorder properly, so that children or amateurs who wish to develop
their abilities on the instrument more than "just for fun", don't have to start
all over again later… Beginning with the purely technical subjects. There are four
basic sections: 1. How to hold the recorder--"balanced" playing 2. How to move
the fingers-- the relaxed "machine" 3. How to breath— the sound 4. How to
articulate—the speaking… Walter van Hauwe, 72 pages |

THE MODERN RECORDER PLAYER, Vol. III / "…It is clear
that we cannot speak about a single contemporary style; on the contrary, it is easy to get
lost in the complex, and potentially frightening, labyrinth of different styles, forms,
kinds of expression, emotions, and so on… As with all good music, contemporary music
also needs and has to develop its own "grammar", and it is up to each
generation, including that coming up now, to try to understand this contemporary musical
grammar…I hope this volume will help you to a feeling of the future of the
recorder." Walter van Hauwe Part I: The Fingers –

THE ART OF DIMINUTION Vol. I Authentic ancient formulae for
Recorder / (In the 16th & 17th cen.) "This method is
intended to enable acquiring solid experience in realizing instrumental or vocal
diminutions. It has been conceived more for supple, practical and creative use, rather
than as strictly historical musicological documentation….This work contains more than
a thousand formulae that have been selected from the works of seven Italian or Spanish
composers. For easier use, the intervallic diminutions, here in order of complexity, have
been reduced to semibreve length and have no clef, as they can all be transposed into
several tones. In the same way, the cadenzas are presented in four main
categories….Later on, after obtaining a certain ease and a personal style, the artist
in quest of invention can always return to this catalogue for inspiration, just like a
poet looks through his dictionary of rhymes…" Philippe Matharel |
