Basic Baroque and Recorder Technique

		Recorder Solo & Consort

"Basic Baroque" also encompasses non-Baroque recorder music from the most recent flier. But I couldn't change the category name, so you'll just have to work with me on the notion that things like "Medieval Songs and Dances" count as early, early, early Baroque. Apologies for the inconvenience. See also "New, Noteworthy and Necessary."
