About Recorder

Recorder music encompasses a vast repertoire spanning from the Medieval and Renaissance eras to the High Baroque and modern avant-garde compositions. Centered on the internal duct flute, this genre typically features a family of instruments ranging from sopranino to sub-contra bass, often supported by basso continuo or performed as unaccompanied solos. Its rhythmic profile varies from structured historical dance forms like the sarabande to complex contemporary microtonality, usually maintaining a pure, intimate, and pastoral mood. Semantically, it occupies a specific niche within early music and classical chamber music, distinguished by its lack of a reed and its characteristic whistle-like, wooden timbre that differs significantly from the modern transverse flute.

Also known as: Blockflute, Flauto dolce, English flute
