Poor “Maggie” got a little butchered, until we got into the swing with the timing and that tricky anacrusis, then she sounded as gorgeous as she should. “Under the Linden Tree” was very rewarding. Apparently there is a Linden Tree in Swanpool, and we ought go serenade it.
Important Notice; the Benalla U3A Recorder Group seeks more Soprano players!
Also called the Descant, this is the size recorder you might have played in school. The Soprano is the smallest commonly-used Recorder, although it is pipped by the titchy Sopranino, and apparently there one even smaller called a Garklein. Larger than the Soprano is the Alto, or Treble, which Rae, Andi and Kazuko play. Then there is the Tenor, giving a really beautiful deeper note, which Pat, Sally and often Janet perform on. Janet has a Bass Recorder for when the music calls for it, but we do not have any of the larger varieties of Bass.
