Play-alongs of rock and pop music

It is still rare to find original pop and rock style music, which focuses on the recorder, in editions of printed music. The Cd ‘Kaleidoscope’ by Vintgar, featuring almost exclusively songs and instrumentals by Nik and Aleks Tarasov, provides an opportunity to publish the recorded music as play-alongs in two volumes. These contain the main recorder part in notation and the licence to download the original accompaniment of the Cd. The music can be played on traditional recorders, varying from soprano to bass. However, for some pieces a Modern Harmonic recorder, or the ‘Elody’, may be the more satisfying instrument due to their extended range and sound. The repertoire ranges from easy to difficult and provides ideal practice and study material in this genre.
