Playing duets is my nirvana! It could be Recorders, Viola da gambas, Native American-style flutes, Åspipas, Härjedalspipas, Duduks, or combinations of any of those. Playing duets or consorts and interacting with real human beings is something AI will never be able to take away from us. Love how you two interact! You guys were having fun!
Yes, the video on how to clean a recorder coated in peanut butter by licking it off was one of my favorites. I would also love to see one on how to clean a recorder coated in Nutella.
@@SanDra-zr9heI mean, there are so many cool fish designs though. So many aesthetic reasons to wear fish. Imagine a trio of fish sweaters, or imagine goldfish on a shirt, or even beta fish on a trouser pocket. Get imaginative with it. …what were we talking about again? Where am I?
I was precisely looking for duets ! Found a friend also plays the recorder, we've had a few practices together, it's sooo much more fun than playing alone ! ❤
We also transpose all the time between soprano and alto fingering, depending on the mood and the sheet music (that is not always meant for recorder haha) I play other instruments as well, and the brain blanks when switching a lot is real 😂
There are a lot of duets in the "Charlton Method for the Recorder". Most of them are for combinations though, for example alto and tenor, soprano and base and everything in between.
About switching between recorders in F and C, if someone is clarinetist and saxophonist (like Jon) I think s/he can also use the rule of thumb that recorders in C have basically the same fingerings as saxophones, while those in F have fingerings similar to those of clarinets. Loved the duets, I'm trying convincing my former singing teacher, which also have played recorder for some time, to give a second try to her recorder consort - Considering she now conducts a choir, in which I also sing, it might be a good addition, the timbres of voices and recorders blend very well one with each other.
@@SuperHyperExtra Oh, yes - A clarinetist also has to remember the recorder overblows an octave instead of a twelfth higher, thus no need for "throat" fingerings.
So nice to see Jon again 🎉🎉🎉 . The two of you are a lot of fun and such a lovely couple ❤. I am new to recorder playing. A year ago I purchased on eBay a new Yamaha Soprano YRS-402B Ecodear recorder and a a month ago I purchased a used classic Yamaha alto recorder that has no model number. They are both baroque and I practice both but not really every day. The LORD gave me a song that I have learned by heart without ever using sheet music. It’s simple and fun to play. Blessings to you and your family.
John plays clarinet right? I always think of soprano fingering as the second register on clarinet, and alto fingering as the first register but octivated. It really helps me with alto, because I’m a lot less used to it compared to soprano (which is my ‘default’).
Great video! I love hearing you play together. The alto and sopreno fingerings clicked for me when I picked up the clarinet 8 months ago just for fun (frustrating fun). The clarinet helped me to understand the soprano and alto recorder fingerings. The Chalumeau register of the clarinet is like the alto fingerings, and the Clarion register of the clarinet is like the soprano fingerings. It's not exactly the same, but close enough so that it made sense to me.
I'd like to recommend three collections of contemporary duets by the German composer Harald Genzmer, published by Schott: Elf Duette (SA, Edition Schott OFB 130); Tanzstücke, Heft I (AA, Edition Schott OFB 34); and Tanzstücke, Heft II (AA, Edition SchottOFB 129). They are written in a mid-20th century "Gebrauchsmusik" style that is reminiscent of of Hindemith, who was Genzmer's teacher. Moderately chromatic, not overly difficult (roughly comparable to the Telemann duets, with no "advanced techniques"), and very enjoyable to play and listen to.
Oh, Raphael Benjamin Meyer is fantastic! I've played quite a few of his compositions for recorder orchestra and they are awesome! The first one I've played was "Popcorn", and currently we're playing his "Safari" As far as duets go, I've really enjoyed Loillet!
@@Team_Recorder thanks for this funny and informing video of yours. And thanks for the mentioning! Raphael B. Meyer's Popcorn is included in "Die Flötenorgel" (5 volumes, published at Heinrichhofen's Verlag). However, here's the recording he did with his Ensemble (Andreas Böhlen, Raphael B. Meyer, Clément Gester, Marc Pauchard): ruclips.net/video/LSk5P9l8pz8/видео.html
The first concert I ever did, when I was fifteenish, my friend and I played Purcell's Two in One Upon a Ground, and it remains a favourite. My partner's favourite duet to hear is Merula's Ciaccona; always a banger, but not my fav 😂
You just taught me something important, even though you told it the other way round. Whenever a piece is marked Swing, I will, from now on, play croches inégales. Wonder if jazz people can tell the difference. 😀
Nice! Nothing to add as far as duets are concerned but I would like to recommend Phil Woods Sonata For Alto Sax And Piano on recorder. I've been playing through the 1st movement as written for alto sax and it sits almost perfectly on recorder and sounds beautiful. The piano would need transposing/arranging to suit. There are versions by John Harle ( a good template for recorder i feel ) and Victor Morosco (who Woods wrote the piece for) on RUclips. The last piece in your book put me in mind of this.
You just have to like Jon! This is awesome. You two play really well together too. Maybe we will see a saxophone version of this once?? Hope you’re doing well!
Best thing i ever did for my recorder studies was joining an (online) recorder consort. Went from barely reading music to fairly proficient within a year.
If a person really wants to get into recorder duets---and learns to transcribe in his/her head high notes down an octave or low notes up an octave---comes naturally with practice---then go to IMSLP and check out Duets---two violins or two clarinets or two flutes etc Then get a Zoom and a metronome and record the second parts for playback and HAVE FUN.
Hi sarah! We're coming to Amsterdam on 11th September for a few days. Are there any recorder-y events that week where we might hear you play? Thanks for another fun and informative video xx❤
Just learning how to play a Basset F but the left 0 thumb is used HOW? It is difficult to change it, slur it, move it fast, I use the side next to the nail. Should it be more vertical? How do I use the left thumb? thanks.
Now I can only imagine Jon on King's day on a flea market with a little money bucket... I really want to know how he ended up playing recorder for the king, when and where was this? Lol
So lovely to see Jon back, too. I know you shouldn't idolize what you don't really know, but you do seem to be such complete soul partners. I wish I would meet my own "Jon" one day. But, Sarah, I just did the math and you've talked about recorders online 442 times (8 and a half years times once a week ) and never once been boring. You are a powerhouse of recorder magic! 🏳⚧💖🥰
Demonstrating that playing duets is an amazing activity for couples.
Yes - a t-shirt with a fish and a recorder on it. It would be a bass recorder!
A BASS PLAYING A BASS RECORDER
I MUST MAKE THIS
@@Team_Recorder How about an Octopus - at least it has enough extremities to cover all the holes, even the 8th...
Even better if it’s a C bass…
@SteveCaddy brilliant!

A delicious experience, to say the very least.
Music to my ears, the news that: “Jon’s baaaack!!” You guys are so great! ❤️🎶
A pleasure seeing you both enjoying recorders ❤️🎵🎶❤️
Personally I agree with Jon. A team recorder sweater with a fish is the right way to go.
the only way to get me to wear anything with a fish on it !

Matching sweaters 😂😂😂
when did Jon get to play for the King of Denmark? is it on RUclips? :-D
This was so much fun watching. You two are lovely!

Delightful! And, yes -- matching fish-playing-recorder shirts with bubbles coming out of their recorders, I'd totally buy those! 💕🐠
Hilarious...😝

In fact, clarinet has alto recorder-like fingerings in the low register (F-G-A-B...) and soprano recorder-like in the high-register. (C-D-E-F...).
@@SuperHyperExtra Oh, yes - A clarinetist also has to remember the recorder overblows an octave instead of a twelfth higher, thus no need for "throat" fingerings.

lol thank you for the 90's Joan Osborn flashback of What if Qantz was one of us !
Oh, we just love to see you guys together! And such beautiful music you made.
Ok... we are going to need a duet album with you and Jon.
Haha don’t tempt Jon
Oh yeah gotta love a bit of jaunty.
love it. I would like do these, but my husband its not a musician and I have to wait a little bite to my daughter grow up

By the way; where did Jon find that hat? It's awesome!
sweet!
What is Quantz? The inventor of Quantzumtheory, of course!
Yeah so… John is totally right. If there is a recorder fish with a beard jumper I would so buy it. Long live John the recorder fish! 🐟 🎵
Hi sarah! We're coming to Amsterdam on 11th September for a few days. Are there any recorder-y events that week where we might hear you play? Thanks for another fun and informative video xx❤
Great you’re coming to Amsterdam! Ahh you’ll just miss my concerts- I play on the 7th and 8th. If something else comes up I’ll make sure it’s known!
@Team_Recorder Oh, that's a shame. My timing's off as usual... Have to visit the Concertgebouw instead ☺️
I've written a piece for two flutes and harpsichord continuo. It's on sound cloud so I have a link. Interested?
Just learning how to play a Basset F but the left 0 thumb is used HOW? It is difficult to change it, slur it, move it fast, I use the side next to the nail. Should it be more vertical? How do I use the left thumb? thanks.
Jon's glasses just adds to his quirkiness....🙂 (That's a good thing, btw)
He will be SO pleased to read this
Haydn is always catchy
Now I can only imagine Jon on King's day on a flea market with a little money bucket... I really want to know how he ended up playing recorder for the king, when and where was this? Lol
This is worth watching just to watch the man-child admire himself in the video. We husbands can be such goobers.
does anyone know a violin/fiddle variant of team recorder? (aside from 2 set)
ABBA. Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Sarah and Jon. 🙌🏻😍🙌🏻
Mulder and Scully ❤️
@@Team_Recorder omg how could I forget!!😍
Does it Jaunt?
Pleeeeaaase tell us the story about Jon playing recorder for the king of the Netherlands 😂
Oh I think I MUST
what's that swinging word again?
Inégal, french for unequal
You rwo make beautiful music together
You're very blest to be married to a talented fellow musician
❤️
😘
I'm confused by the "different fingering" comments. Don't they have the same fingering for the basic sizes?
Nope, recorders in C (soprano) and F (alto) are read differently!
do wear your merch sometimes
JONNNNNN!!!!
🤣 affect du wobble ❤
Why not use the tenor? I am just fed up with the alto, alto, alto...
Jon was too unfortunately
🐟🐠 There is something fishy around here
🐟 🐠
Lol
Who cares about the sheets or the recorders? Where did you find those Sweaters?!? 😁
Jon Vinted them 😄
