Baroque alto recorder

/ˌæl.toʊ rɪˈkɔːr.dɚ/ (UK treble recorder) a recorder (= a wind instrument) with a slightly lower sound than the descant recorder.

The main acoustical difference of the baroque recorder is that the bore tapers virtually to the end of the instrument, rather than “choking” the bore near the last fingerhole and widening to the bottom as in the Renaissance recorder. The result is a clearer sound and an upward expansion of the range.

Baroque music (UK: /bəˈrɒk/ or US: /bəˈroʊk/) refers to the period or dominant style of Western classical music composed from about 1600 to 1750. The Baroque style followed the Renaissance period, and was followed in turn by the Classical period after a short transition (the galant style).

recorder | Intermediate English recorder. noun [ C/U ] /rɪˈkɔr·dər/ Add to word list Add to word list. a musical instrument consisting of a wooden tube with holes along its length that are covered by the fingers to vary the notes and played by blowing into one end, or this type of instrument generally.

f' If you play with a recorder group, it may include a soprano in c”, alto in f', tenor in c' and bass in f. These are the recorder family members often used playing for ensemble music.

There's no right or wrong in your choice, but starting with alto will make your recorder journey a little easier to start. You can also swap between tenor and soprano seamlessly as they both use the same C fingering making it easier to join a recorder ensemble or recorder society.

By comparison, the difference is only two tone holes on a recorder. If you look at the holes on a traditional baroque recorder, the fourth hole from the top is smaller than the fifth hole. On the German recorder, the order is changed – the fourth hole is larger than the fifth hole. That's all!

The modern recorder has some extra. keys to get down to that lowest note, and it has a bit of a richer sound, more overtones, and it blends nicely with modern instruments. The baroque recorder has a bit more of a narrower, smaller sound that I still find really beautiful.

Baroque came to English from the French word barroque, meaning "irregularly shaped." At first, the word in French was used mostly to refer to pearls. Eventually, it came to describe an extravagant style of art characterized by curving lines, gilt, and gold.

The term Baroque, derived from the Portuguese 'barocco' meaning 'irregular pearl or stone', refers to a cultural and art movement that characterized Europe from the early seventeenth to mid-eighteenth century. Baroque emphasizes dramatic, exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted, detail.

A recorder, also called a datalogger, is an electronic device used to read input values from measuring devices to record and monitor them. They can be a model dedicated to this operation, or it can be a secondary function included with a sophisticated process controller.

A recorder is a wooden or plastic musical instrument in the shape of a pipe. You play the recorder by blowing into the top of it and covering and uncovering the holes with your fingers.
