The Complete Country Dance Tunes from Playford's The Dancing Master is the classic compendium of English country dance tunes. First published in 1651 it went through eighteen editions in almost 80 years. In its day it was the most popular collection of its kind and engendered numerous imitations. The tunes selected by Playford and his successors were taken from many sources and demonstrate the extraordinary richness and vitality of popular melody in England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. This book brings together, for the first time under one cover, 535 tunes and their variants from the eighteen original editions. It provides a fund of musical material for performers, whether folk musicians or baroque instrumentalists, and for class and instrumental music teachers. It is also an invaluable reference book for anyone interested in the history of English music.

The author of this volume, the outstanding Hungarian baroque flute and recorder player János Bali, has undertaken no less than to provide a guide for bewildered recorder players; teachers and students, amateurs and professional musicians alike; faced with the extremely intriguing but difficult question: How should baroque pieces be ornamented? The answers are given by contemporary musicians themselves; the collection contains only contemporary ornaments (and richly ornamented pieces and movements) selected from the repertoire of the period between 1550 and 1760, that is, from the late Renaissance, through the various national styles of early and mature baroque, right up to rococo. In the score the original melody of each work or movement and several different ornamented versions of the same melody can be found one below the other, thus the various possible modes of ornamentation can easily be compared. In the extremely valuable and informative introductory study, János Bali provides a basic historical survey of the subject and offers useful practical advice to musicians using the collection; at the end of the volume he includes, almost in their entirety, the tables of ornamentation compiled by G. L. Conforto (1693) and J. J. Quantz (1752).

'A magisterial collection …I have already lost many an evening to this book, enjoying passages both familiar and lesser known.’ — Gramophone Magazine a ‘ magnificent publication ’ … ‘it would be possible to pass many a rewarding and pleasurable hour just browsing the hundreds of illustrations’ — Early Music Review Features more than 2,800 entries 560 images (300 in colour) translations from five principal languages a span of 600 years’ musical activity free supplementary material online About the book The Pursuit of Musick is an encyclopedic and generously illustrated anthology of original written sources, exploring some 600 years of musical activity in Europe, from the first troubadours to the emergence of the pianoforte. Through this book Andrew Parrott presents an extraordinary treasure trove of material documenting myriad ways in which our recent ancestors engaged with music. And, exceptionally, it is almost entirely through their words – their images, too – that such experiences are here vividly evoked. The resultant book aims to lend itself equally to leisurely browsing, quick reference and close study, and to be simultaneously authoritative and approachable, allowing general readers and specialists alike to tap into invaluable seams of original source material. Arranged in three main parts (Society, Ideas, Performance), its principal chapters are supplemented by shorter ones exploring related and intriguing byways. Occasional thematic introductions (by Hugh Griffith) and four distinctive appendices contribute further to the book’s unique and characterful nature. Endorsements ‘The originality and uniqueness of this book cannot be overstated. It’s a version of musical history which we always needed but could never have imagined. ... Above all, the voice, spirit, industry and engagement of musicians (so often omitted from history in favour of didactic theorists) are always forefronted in this persuasive demonstration of how music came to be the way it is.’ — Judith Weir, Master of the King’s Music ‘For anyone with a love of music, Andrew Parrott’s pioneering The Pursuit of Musick is bound to be a life-changing experience. His book is a model of intellectual curiosity ... drawing upon a breathtaking array of primary sources to illuminate our ancestors’ engagement with music ... We can never fully comprehend the place of music in earlier times, but Andrew Parrott’s narrative takes us as close as we are ever likely to get.’ — Colin Lawson, Director, Royal College of Music ‘Andrew Parrott’s The Pursuit of Musick is the spectacular result of a wonderful career dedicated to enlivening our understanding and experience of “early music”. ... [Nothing comparable] has ever been attempted on quite this scale and with such flair for the multiplicity of musical experience ... and the final touch is the sumptuous visual evidence that adorns every section.’ — John Butt, conductor & Professor, University of Glasgow 560 pages ISBN: 978-1-915229-54-0 Dimensions: 11" / 28cm H; 8 9/16" / 21.6cm W; 1 3/8" / 3cm D

This arrangement of Telemann’s “Twelve Fantasias” for treble recorder is based on Barenreiter's edition for solo flute. With the exception of Nos 4, 5 & 12 which were transposed up a fourth for the recorder, all other fantasias are transposed up a third following a technique often used in the 18th Century. The Fantasias for flute without bass address themselves less to the virtuoso than to the amateur flutist, who will find everything he wishes in these pieces. Although Telemann himself may have lost track of his works, the many flutists who have perfected their technique and musical interpretation with the help of these lovely Fantasias will never forget them.
