About this arrangement

Descant Recorder and Piano (or String Orchestra) - Intermediate-Advanced SKU: FP.FLP01 Composed by Philip Lane. Sheet Music and Books. Phillip Lane's popular concert work for descant recorder and piano (or string orchestra). Set on Grade 5 of the ABRSM Descant Recorder Syllabus from 2022 (no.2 Courtly Dance). Classical. Collection. Forsyths Publications #FLP01. Published by Forsyths Publications (FP.FLP01). ISBN 9790570502073.Philip Lane is noted for his work on classic film scores, which he has reconstructed from the original soundtracks. His own music is light and tuneful, and this Suite, of only moderate difficulty, alludes to the 18th century era of gentility. After a rousing Intrada, the ballroom is evoked in a smooth Courtly Dance and a gracious Minuet, and the Suite ends with Revelry, a light-hearted evocation of Beau Brummel's Bath Night romp.
