This is an enjoyable anthology of some of the best recorder music from the early Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, and early Romantic periods. The music of historically well-known as well as lesser-known and obscure composers has been included. Solos, duets, trios, and quartets from the various periods and schools (German, Italian, French, and English) have been chosen because of their musical content and charm.
 
These arrangements are primarily for the descant or soprano recorder. The alto, tenor and bass recorders are included, however, in duets, trios, and quartets. Phrasing and breath marks have been indicated for use at the player's discretion. "400 Years Of Recorder Music - Recorder (Instrumental Folio)" weighs 6.72 oz.
