Ercole Bernabei (1622 - 1687):  Ve la dirò cantando
source: Venetian manuscript of the end of the Seventeenth Century
scoring: C (Bc)
An unexpectedly beautiful cantata, perfectly usable even performed without text. The not inconsiderable length makes it an excellent concert piece for a recorder in C.
Certainly Ercole Bernabei is a composer to be studied carefully, even if he only published vocal music.

Giovanni Paolo Cima (c. 1570 - 1630):  Confitemini Domino
source: Concerti ecclesiastici (Milan 1610)
scoring: TT or SS (Bass instrument)
I have devised this arrangement to meet the kind request of our friend FredPaul.
The two upper lines may be played by two tenor recorders or two transverse flutes – or any combination of the two kinds of flutes. The bass line must be played by a viola da gamba or other bass instrument; even a bass recorder can play it if the two upper parts are played on soprano recorders.

Luigi Tenco (1938 - 1967):  Lontano, lontano
source: Duos for treble recorders from well-known ancient and modern melodies, No. 29
scoring: AA
This is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful Italian song ever written.
And it works very well as a recorder exercise with its tonal transitions of semitones from C major to Eb major.

Giovanni Paolo Cima (c. 1570 - 1630):  Confitemini Domino

This motet is here presented in two different editions: the first one, simply transposed a tone above, suits a soprano or a tenor recorder.
The second one contains editorial divisions of the recorder part.
In both cases, the bass line may be performed on a bass recorder, especially when a soprano plays the top line.

Henry Purcell (1659 - 1695):  The Chair Dance
source: The Prophetess (The History of Dioclesian) (1690) - Z 627
scoring: ATB (Bass instrument)
This is a good, although unacknowledged, loure: also known as the gigue lourée or gigue lente (slow gigue). The loure is a French Baroque dance, probably originating in Normandy and named after the sound of the instrument of the same name (a type of musette).
A typical later example of it is in the French Suite No.5 in G major, BWV 816 by J.S. Bach.
More information is available here.

Jacques Hotteterre «le Romain» (1673 - 1763):  Deuxiéme Suitte de Pieces a Deux Dessus. Op. 6 in G major (Bb major)
scoring: AA
Hotteterre, as usual, states this piece may be played on flutes as well as on recorders. Nevertheless, the transposed version in Bb major is quite difficult for the low Ab and Gb notes, especially in the movement in Bb minor (!).
It would be possible to transpose the suite to C major/C minor, but the range of both parts would reach the high G.

Andrea Bornstein (1956 - ):  Fantasia on a Canon a 3 by Heyden (1540)

Heyden published this didactic canon for 3 tenor voices on his treatise De arte canendi (Nuremberg 1540).
I heavily arranged it, adding to the composition a bass and a top line.

Johann David Heinichen (1683 - 1729):  Sonata a 2 in G minor - Seibel 277
source: Mus. ms. 10366. Manuscript preserved in Berlin: State Library
scoring: AB
The original title page of the manuscript of this sonata reads «Sonata a 2. Hautbois solo et Basson». The original key is C minor.
I have good reason to believe that the continuo part is missing; nevertheless the bare duo is pleasant to play and listen to.

The original composition is a four-part madrigal by Jacob Arcadelt first published in his Primo libro di madrigali a 4 (Venice 1539).
Ruffo borrowed the soprano from the original madrigal, adding to it a tenor and a bass.
In my edition, I added the original lyrics to the top part, which are not present in Ruffo’s print.
