My Favourite Melodies – Alto Recorder and Piano – Sarah Jeffrey

Following her successful soprano recorder volume, Sarah Jeffery now presents ‘My Favourite Melodies’ for treble recorder. This unique collection includes a wide range of pieces, from medieval melodies and Renaissance pieces with their own diminutions to famous baroque works and classical and romantic arrangements. In addition, the volume contains two contemporary compositions that demonstrate the versatile sound spectrum of the alto recorder. Each piece has been carefully selected to encourage enjoyment and to explore the different tonal colours of this versatile instrument. The accompanying lessons by Sarah Jeffery on YouTube, in which she plays pieces from the book, make it possible to play many parts of the arrangements in a relatively short learning time. The downloadable accompaniments and tips for each piece in the edition are also helpful.
