Bit of fake baroque

[VicDiesel]

Lately I've been writing pieces with the explicit aim to provide intermediate level, appealing sounding, music for amateur recorder players. These pieces are going to form a suite "The Courtly Suite" where each movement portrays a person at some fictional medieval/renaissance/rococco/baroque court.

Here's the program for The Queen's Minuet:

The old queen is obliged to dance with all the dignitaries that visit her husband, and she likes dancing, but some of them are so clumsy! Then she thinks back to when she was a girl, and her father danced her around the room, carrying her on his shoes.

How divine!

Now get it published somewhere, this needs to be played. It certainly will appeal to the intermediate recorder player.

Great stuff Vic.

I've decided to be nice, and so my scores are published for free on the Icking archive..

Thanks for the compliment.

You really ought to publish it Vic.

Find a recorder music publisher and present it to him.

Once I have the whole suite together I might publish it through Lulu like Andreas does. I have no illusions about getting rich from music, so it would be providing a service to people who simply like to have it nicely bound.

Why not publish it for free on the sibeliusmusic.com site then?

[VicDiesel]

Because I don't use Sibelius?

If you can save your files as Mxml files I (or anyone here that uses Sibelius) can make them into .sib files and post them for you!
