Fantasia On A Christmas Spiritual

(PT. 1: Low D, E, G, A, B, C, D, E; PT. 2: G, A, B; OPT. ALTO PT.: G, A, B, C, D, E.)

Based on the plaintive spiritual "Mary Had A Baby," we created a jazz-flavored composition that allows you to combine players of differing abilities for your performances. There are three separate recorder parts that can be played separately or together: The beginning soprano part (B) allows nice challenges for players, but only requires B, A, and G. There is also a more advanced soprano part (A) that stays closer to the melody, and an alto recorder part that, while fairly low on the instrument, will provide a nice addition for your players with alto recorders.
