Horses Brawl / Bransle

Janette Clare performing at Belvoir Folk Festival, Belvoir Castle, Rutland, UK, on 18th May 2008, in the Guardroom at the foot of the main staircase. Part of a set themed "A tour of Britain", this was an extra item, where we took a day trip across the Channel!

What an amazing sound. I can't tell whether it's the recorder or the acoustics of the room. Very nice and clear anyway

@symes1906 Thank you! It is a combination of two things - a wide-bore recorder which makes a very loud sound, and the excellent acoustics afforded by standing on a marble floor at the bottom of a huge marble staircase. I got complaints about the volume from someone on the third floor! J.

What make of recorder is that? I play a Coolsma Aura Conservatorium in Boxwood.

That one is a Mollenhauer Dream Series in pearwood.  Nice and loud, even on the lower notes! They come in SATB, and with double or single holes. I got mine from Busymole Music in Herts, who is a UK distributor.

Can you tell me the notes?

Beautiful. This song holds a lot of meaning for me as I played it at my granddad's second wedding when I was 10, and more recently at his funeral.. I hadn't played the recorder since the wedding, couldn't remember the name of the song and therefor couldn't find the sheet music. Thankfully I could remember the tune and how to play it. Although I never realised I was supposed to be playing a b flat! I enjoyed clicking play and playing it with you :)

Very nicely played. I don't know who Snakes011 is but I do know what he is.
