Polyphony and Eccentricity
Polyphony and Eccentricity - our two favourite things about the recorder!
Over the course of this concert, we use over 30 instruments in all shapes and sizes to take the audience on a tour of the many genres where the recorder feels at home - from delicate counterpoint in early choral works, to complex Baroque fugues, to our own unique arrangements of pop songs and more.
Works include:
O Domine, Jesu Christe - Fransisco Guererro
Wicked - Michiel Mensingh
Foxey Lady - Jimi Hendrix, arr. BLOCK4
Stargazing
Join us as we trace a line through the night sky. Combining centuries of music inspired by art and the heavens, Stargazing showcases the diverse possibilities of the recorder ensemble, including a new work commissioned by BLOCK4 in 2019.
Works include:
Bardo #1 - Andrew Crossley
Stella Splendens - Anon. (13th C) arr. BLOCK4
Le Rey au Soleyl - Johannes Ciconia
