Session 1: Technique class - We will not necessarily play all the notes of all the set pieces. We will use parts of these works to identify and practice various techniques as required by the class. We do not expect you to have mastered all the notes by the course.

Van Eyck – Der Fluyten Lust-hof
The goal for the van Eyck is to have a sense of the original tune when playing the variations.
To work on (numbers given are the numbers in the Dolce edition):
2. Onder de Linde groene – modo 2, modo 3 (soprano or tenor)
4. Puer nobis nascitur – theme, modo 2, modo 3, modo 4 (soprano or tenor)
5. Engels Nachtegael I – theme, modo 2 (soprano)

•  if you want extension, work on modo 3 of Nachtegael I or Nachtegael II (p. 8 – note that the second half

has one extra bar).
8. Amaralli mia bella – theme, modo 2 (soprano or tenor)
11. Pavan Lachymae II – theme, modo 2 (soprano or tenor)

• if you want extension, work on modo 2 of Pavan Lachymae I (p.14)

12. Doen Daphne I – theme, modo 2, modo 3 (soprano or tenor)
There are a lot of van Eyck recordings online. If you’re looking for inspiration, here is a place to start:
A catalogue of interpretations of Jacob van Eyck’s Der Fluyten Lust-Hof
presented by the Olive Consort
https://derfluytenlusthof.org/
This is a collection of van Eyck videos of recorder players from all over the world (you may even recognise
one or two players). Some will be quite a lot faster than we’re likely to take them in technique class.

Telemann – Concerto in F major
1. Everyone learn recorder 1 part (we’re going to pay particular attention to high note playing and
articulation)
2. Choose one other part to learn. You’ll notice a lot of similar patterning from the recorder 1 part

Jean Baptiste Loeillet – Sonata no 1
Some additional material to work on from an original print. It has been emailed to you.
Learn recorder 1 and recorder 2 (separate parts):

• movement 1 Adagio

• movement 4 Giga – Allegro

Things to be mindful of:

• Crotchet rests look like back-to-front quaver rests

• Sometimes a bar is not a complete bar at the end of a line and runs into the next line
