Traditional Scottish music for recorder, based on early manuscripts with Dick Hensold-15 participant limit

According to eminent Scottish musicologist David Johnson, the recorder was an important instrument for playing traditional Scottish tunes in the 1st half of the 18th century in the Scottish lowlands, based on what was found in a number of recorder manuscripts from that period.  Explore some of the music from those MSS with Dick Hensold, with sheet music provided, and notes and discussion of history and interpretation.  Bring an alto recorder; music will be provided for both C and F fingering.  This workshop is intended for both traditional music aficionados, and recorder players more familiar with standard early music practice.  Participants who don’t read music will need to bring recording devices, since the workshop will be mainly taught from written music scores.
