A pleasure seeing you both enjoying recorders ❤️🎵🎶❤️

Playing duets is my nirvana! It could be Recorders, Viola da gambas, Native American-style flutes, Åspipas, Härjedalspipas, Duduks, or combinations of any of those. Playing duets or consorts and interacting with real human beings is something AI will never be able to take away from us. Love how you two interact! You guys were having fun!

I was precisely looking for duets ! Found a friend also plays the recorder, we've had a few practices together, it's sooo much more fun than playing alone ! ❤

We also transpose all the time between soprano and alto fingering, depending on the mood and the sheet music (that is not always meant for recorder haha) I play other instruments as well, and the brain blanks when switching a lot is real 😂

Brilliant! Love it when Jon is on your channel 😊

Personally I agree with Jon. A team recorder sweater with a fish is the right way to go.

when did Jon get to play for the King of Denmark? is it on KZread? :-D

Magnificently motivational ❤

So nice to see Jon again 🎉🎉🎉 . The two of you are a lot of fun and such a lovely couple ❤. I am new to recorder playing. A year ago I purchased on eBay a new Yamaha Soprano YRS-402B Ecodear recorder and a a month ago I purchased a used classic Yamaha alto recorder that has no model number. They are both baroque and I practice both but not really every day. The LORD gave me a song that I have learned by heart without ever using sheet music. It’s simple and fun to play. Blessings to you and your family.

Love watching you two together! What a delight. 🎉

"It's my KZread channel".... exactly :) Such a fun video!

This is just too cool! 🎉

This was lovely!

Love it!

It's always fun to see your videos together. 😆

lol thank you for the 90's Joan Osborn flashback of What if Qantz was one of us !

delightful!

Loved the Tarantella! :) Enjoyed having your husband on this- fun! :)

Oh yeah gotta love a bit of jaunty.

About switching between recorders in F and C, if someone is clarinetist and saxophonist (like Jon) I think s/he can also use the rule of thumb that recorders in C have basically the same fingerings as saxophones, while those in F have fingerings similar to those of clarinets. Loved the duets, I'm trying convincing my former singing teacher, which also have played recorder for some time, to give a second try to her recorder consort - Considering she now conducts a choir, in which I also sing, it might be a good addition, the timbres of voices and recorders blend very well one with each other.

In fact, clarinet has alto recorder-like fingerings in the low register (F-G-A-B...) and soprano recorder-like in the high-register. (C-D-E-F...).

@TenorCantusFirmus

10 күн бұрын

@@SuperHyperExtra Oh, yes - A clarinetist also has to remember the recorder overblows an octave instead of a twelfth higher, thus no need for "throat" fingerings.

Delightful! And, yes -- matching fish-playing-recorder shirts with bubbles coming out of their recorders, I'd totally buy those! 💕🐠

You are just crazy recorder people !!! And you're wonderfull :D

Great playing. I wish, I had someone to play duets with, too.

There are a lot of duets in the "Charlton Method for the Recorder". Most of them are for combinations though, for example alto and tenor, soprano and base and everything in between.

Great fun, I have learnt a lot playing duets with my partner, she understands written music better than me : )

12:20 Very nice piece! That‘s the lively recorder music, I like. :)

John plays clarinet right? I always think of soprano fingering as the second register on clarinet, and alto fingering as the first register but octivated. It really helps me with alto, because I’m a lot less used to it compared to soprano (which is my ‘default’).

sweet!

Oh, Raphael Benjamin Meyer is fantastic! I've played quite a few of his compositions for recorder orchestra and they are awesome! The first one I've played was "Popcorn", and currently we're playing his "Safari" As far as duets go, I've really enjoyed Loillet!

​@@Team_Recorder thanks for this funny and informing video of yours. And thanks for the mentioning! Raphael B.

Meyer, Clément Gester, Marc Pauchard): kzread.info/dash/bejne/foefl7JynJvWqps.html

The first concert I ever did, when I was fifteenish, my friend and I played Purcell's Two in One Upon a Ground, and it remains a favourite. My partner's favourite duet to hear is Merula's Ciaccona; always a banger, but not my fav 😂

Yeah so… John is totally right. If there is a recorder fish with a beard jumper I would so buy it. Long live John the recorder fish! 🐟 🎵

Nice! Nothing to add as far as duets are concerned but I would like to recommend Phil Woods Sonata For Alto Sax And Piano on recorder. I've been playing through the 1st movement as written for alto sax and it sits almost perfectly on recorder and sounds beautiful. The piano would need transposing/arranging to suit. There are versions by John Harle ( a good template for recorder i feel ) and Victor Morosco (who Woods wrote the piece for) on KZread. The last piece in your book put me in mind of this.

I am at work and I was laughing so hard I just couldn't breath

Best thing i ever did for my recorder studies was joining an (online) recorder consort. Went from barely reading music to fairly proficient within a year.
