Collection: All Recorder Reference Books

Recorder players looking for the history of the recorder or literature about the recorder, or perhaps historical treatises on how to play recorder, its articulation, ornamentation, embellishment or improvise upon it - look no further!

Orpheus Music stocks a wide variety of books that include well-known titles such as 'the Acoustics of the Recorder' by Martin, 'the Recorder today'by O'Kelly, 'The Cambridge Companion to the recorder' and many more! 

There are many titles on how to interpret music from the Baroque period, historical performance practices during the renaissance with treatises about the recorder by Ganassi, Quantz, Hotteterre and many more old masters.

 

Other books include practice diaries, fingering charts, play along booklets with CDs, composition handbooks and the Fred Morgan Book ' Recorders based on historical models'.
