The fascinating story of a hugely popular instrument, detailing its
rich and varied history from the Middle Ages to the present The
recorder is perhaps best known today for its educational role.
Although it is frequently regarded as a stepping-stone on the path
toward higher musical pursuits, this role is just one recent facet
of the recorder's fascinating history-which spans professional and
amateur music-making since the Middle Ages. In this new addition to
the Yale Musical Instrument Series, David Lasocki and Robert
Ehrlich trace the evolution of the recorder. Emerging from a
variety of flutes played by fourteenth-century soldiers, shepherds,
and watchmen, the recorder swiftly became an artistic instrument
for courtly and city minstrels. Featured in music by the greatest
Baroque composers, including Bach and Handel, in the twentieth
century it played a vital role in the Early Music Revival and
achieved international popularity and notoriety in mass education.
Overall, Lasocki and Ehrlich make a case for the recorder being
surprisingly present, and significant, throughout Western music
history.
