MMus Project, Royal Academy of Music

My Masters’ degree research focuses on creating a repertoire for the bass recorder, a historically underrepresented member of the recorder family.

As well as a survey of original works for bass recorder, this project explores the creation of new repertoire in three areas:

  • Transcriptions and arrangements of existing contemporary music for low flutes and other instruments

  • Adaptations of Renaissance “viola bastarda” settings of popular madrigals and songs

  • Commissioning new solo and chamber works for bass recorder

Repertoire includes "Toward the Sea" by Toru Takemitsu (originally alto flute and guitar), "Atem-Lied" by Toshio Hosokawa (originally bass flute), diminutions by R Rognoni on "Pulchra Es" by Palestrina, "Studio 2a" by Emmanuele Casale and others
