scoring: ATTB (Bc)
I have already published this concerto – see the related entry – which could be performed on recorders in its original key E minor with just minor adjustments.
And yet in my opinion it works better transposed a tone below to D minor as it is showed in this new arrangement of mine.

A single line of this dance is taken from the collection Recueil des meilleurs contredanses arrangées pour le flageolet edited in Paris by P.J. Chaxelle at end of the eighteenth century.

Hans Leo Hassler (1564 - 1612):  Mein G’müt ist mir verwirret
source: Lustgarten. Neuer Teutscher Gesäng (Nuremberg 1601)
scoring: SATTB or SSAAB
As I extensively explain in the «Prius factus» page (see the link above) this is the first occurrence of the melody we traditionally call Mein G’müt ist mir verwirret just because we cannot go back any further in its history.
But we very well know how it was exploited afterwards in German sacred music.

Paul Simon (1941 - ):  American Tune
scoring: AB (Piano)
This wonderful song is based on the melody of the hymn O sacred head, now wounded (German: O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden). The common name for this hymn tune is «Passion Chorale». The well-known hymn is itself a reworking of an earlier secular song, Mein G’müt ist mir verwirret, by Hans Leo Hassler. However, the melody of the song by Paul Simon is best known by modern listeners as a modified version of Bach’s St Matthew Passion, part 1, Nos. 21 and 23, and part 2, No. 54.
The bass recorder part is ad libitum.

Adriano Banchieri (1568 - 1634):  Concerto bellico «Quare fremuerunt gentes» - Op. 48
source: Dialoghi concerti sinfonie canzoni (Venice 1625)
scoring: TB (Bc)
The title «Concerto bellico» means ‘warlike concerto’: it refers to its musical structure that echoes the battle, a well-known musical form in use from the Renaissance until the eighteenth century.
According to Banchieri’s indications, the first voice can be either a tenor or a soprano singer; therefore a soprano recorder can also be used.

Antonio Vivaldi (1678 - 1741):  Largo in F major
source: Concerto in G minor RV 439 La Notte for flute, strings and continuo
scoring: ATBF
This is a fusion of two movements – both referred to as ‘Largo’ – from Vivaldi’s concerto RV 439. The keys have been left unchanged: the first part starts in C minor and ends on a G major chord, which perfectly ties in with the second part, which starts in C major and ends in F major.
The bass part can be played on a great bass recorder or on any bass instrument, such as cello or bassoon.

Giovanni Paisiello (1740 - 1816):  Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea
source: Miserere - RobP 6.29
scoring: AAATB

Giovanni Battista Riccio (flourished 1609-21):  In Spiritu humilitatis, Motet
source: Il terzo libro delle divine lodi musicali (Venice 1620)
scoring: SATB (Bc)
Riccio’s compositions always are recorder friendly. In fact, it is no coincidence that he was the most prolific 17th century composer of music for «flautino»; that is, soprano recorder.
That said, even if the four vocal parts perfectly fit a SATB group of recorder in the original key, I preferred to transpose the motet a note above to G.
The continuo part can be omitted throughout, but in this case the bass recorder must play the small-size notes at the very beginning of the composition.

Thomas Ravenscroft (c. 1588 - 1635):  Ut Re Me Fa Sol La, Canon at the unison a 4
source: Pammelia. Musicks Miscellanie (London 1609), No. 31
scoring: TTTT or AAAA
This peculiar composition begins with the ascending and descending hexachord; a classic didactic requirement concerning the solmisation.
Its performance it is not easy because of the presence of two different kinds of triplets that clash with the binary flowing of the other parts.
Since the four parts are equal and perfectly fit the range of a recorder in C, they can be played on any kind of recorder in C or in F. I warmly suggest to play this composition with four basses.
In addition to the texted score and parts I added a textless version useful if we just want to play the canon.

Domenico Natale Sarri [Sarro] (1679 - 1744):  Adagio from Concerto in D minor

scoring: AATB

Domenico Natale Sarri [Sarro] (1679 - 1744):  Concerto con violini e flauto e basso in D minor
source: JOG 72-29 (vol. 31). Manuscript preserved in New York: Music Division of the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts
scoring: A (2 Violins, Bc)
This concerto has a serious problem; that is, the first Allegro as second movement is missing. There are good reasons for surmising that: all the similar compositions contained in the famous Neapolitan collection Concerti di Flauto […] have at least four movements; but more obvious is that there are two successive slow movements: «Amoroso» and «Adagio». The loss seems to predate the writing of the manuscript JOG 72-29 (vol. 31), because in it the three movements follow each other seamlessly in all the four parts.
It is worth noticing that the second violin exactly follows the first one except in the second movement.

scoring: AATB (Bc)
The original score of this aria – in F major – is for a soprano singer, two treble recorders and continuo.
Our arrangement includes editorial divisions of the ripresa.
The bass recorder is ad libitum: it doubles the continuo line an octave above as a viola would do in an Eighteenth-century string score.

In conclusion of his collection of instrumental dances, Rossi placed a short piece – just eight measures – meant to link choreographically different dances.
Here we present it in its plain version and with editorial divisions.

Giovanni Battista Vitali (1632 - 1692):  Corrente Quarta - Op. 1, No. 16
source: Correnti e balletti da camera a due violini. Op. 1 (Bologna 1666)
scoring: ATB (Bc)
All the pieces of this collection were thought to be played with a continuo realization. Usually, our arrangements do not include the continuo figures and the bass line is adapted for a bass recorder. In this case, I think the harmony is quite necessary: the three lines are simple and the beauty of this piece is almost completely based on its harmony.
By the way, Vitali was pupil of Maurizio Cazzati, but already in this first opus surpassed his teacher under any musical aspects.
As I said, the bass line is not suited for a bass recorder, since it must sound an octave below; nevertheless, the bass recorder can be used if the continuo is played by a harmonic instrument.

Salamone Rossi (1570 - c. 1630):  Sinfonia XI a 3
source: Il primo libro delle sinfonie et gagliarde (Venice 1607), No. 11
scoring: SSB (Bc ad libitum)
In my opinion, this piece demands a harmonisation of the bass. The figures of the continuo are my additions, as is their implementation. However, the harmonisation can be ignored.
The bass sounds very much like famous Italian Renaissance basses, but it cannot be strictly assimilated to any of them.
