Schott Renaissance Recorder Anthology 2 Sheet Music

Renaissance Recorder Anthology 2 — 32 Graded Pieces for Soprano Recorder and Piano

This second volume in the Schott Anthology Series gathers 32 Renaissance-era pieces arranged for Soprano (Descant) Recorder with Piano accompaniment. Edited by Kathryn Bennetts and Peter Bowman, the collection draws on 15th- to 17th-century sources and is laid out in progressive order. Online audio files come with the print edition, letting students hear a reference performance before practising. Rated at moderate difficulty, it suits recorder players who have finished a first method book and want to explore early-music repertoire with piano support.

What Players Get Inside

Background notes on the pieces, the musical terminology used, and the historical context appear at the back of the book, so the collection doubles as a short introduction to Renaissance style alongside the playing material. An E-score PDF with the same online audio access is also offered alongside the print edition.
