TRANSCRIPTIONS.COM

Here are versions of the VERY GREATEST MUSIC (in our opinion), centrally from J. S. Bach, that can be adapted for the people’s instrument—alto recorder—and keyboard, for alto and bass recorder duet, and other combinations.

Our promise: Recorder players will never in this website be at a loss for a challenge or for a high quality of music, at a low price.

Uses of these transcriptions for you, for any students you may have, maybe even for your teacher(s):

  • Études for technique improvement.
  • Ways of becoming acquainted with a wide swath of musical history, such as many astoundingly little-known Bach cantata obbligatos.
  • Secondary emphasis on bass recorder repertoire, including solos without the sneaking suspicion that the alto is more appropriate.
  • Don’t listen to great music and consider it done, but continue discovering it from the inside by playing it in transcription. Expand your recorder horizons!
  • And of course, put these on your concert programs.
