Miniature Suite for Treble Recorder and Harpsichord (or Piano) - David Lord

Catalogue No: FLD03

This rare foray into recorder composition by David Lord, a noted record producer and composer, is a work of real melodic charm. Each movement is introduced by the solo recorder, with the theme then developed by the piano accompaniment. Suitable for the intermediate to advanced standard player, Miniature Suite will be a welcome addition to the recorder soloist's repertoire.

£8.95

DAVID LORD was born in Oxford in 1944 and studied under Richard Rodney Bennett at the Royal Academy of Music. As a young composer he received many commissions, including works for Julian Bream, Janet Baker, George Malcolm, Imogen Holst, the London Symphony and Northern Sinfonia Orchestras and the Bath, Cheltenham and Aldeburgh Festivals. More recent years have seen him active as a record producer (XTC, Peter Gabriel, Echo and the Bunnymen, the Korgis, Tears for Fears, Jean Michel Jarre) and writer/arranger for film and TV (Cracker, Inspector Rebus etc).

The Miniature Suite was written for David Munrow in 1969, receiving its first performance with harpsichordist Christopher Hogwood in London's Purcell Room that year. The material of each of its five movements is drawn from the recorder's solo introduction. Following the enthusiasm of recorder virtuosi John Turner it was revised in 2011, and the revised version was first performed by John Turner and Ian Thompson in Casterton Church on April 3rd 2011. The works has been recorded by the same artists for the Prima Facie label (Recorder Fireworks PFCD0010).
