Description
The recorder has a rich and varied history spanning over six centuries. Emerging from medieval flutes played by soldiers, shepherds, and watchmen, it quickly became an artistic instrument for courtly and city minstrels. Featured in music by renowned composers such as Bach and Handel, the recorder played a significant role in the Early Music Revival of the 20th century. Its popularity grew further with mass education, making it a staple in many musical settings. However, this recent facet is just one aspect of the recorder's fascinating story. To understand its evolution, David Lasocki and Robert Ehrlich provide an in-depth look at the instrument's development from its humble beginnings to its current status. Through their research, Lasocki and Ehrlich make a compelling case for the recorder's enduring presence throughout Western music history.
