Mattheson 'Chaconne in G minor' playalong and score! | Team Recorder

[@giorgiolamborghini813]

The Chaconne, whether by Mattheson, Bach or other Baroque composer, almost always manages to create great emotions in me. This one by Mattheson and that of Bach from the partita n 2 in D minor, are my favorites. Thanks for sharing.

[@birdman4854]

Beautiful!! Im 51 learning the recorder and its such a beautiful instrument. Thanks for all your helpful videos 🙏🏻

[@christophertsiliacos8958]

@BIRDMAN - I agree. This woodwind instrument ranks right up there with my pan flute, Native American flute, fife flute, concert flute, tin whistles, ocarina, soprano and alto saxophones, Bb clarinet and violin. It's never too late to learn to play an instrument. I was over 58 when I first learned to play all of the aforementioned treble clef instruments, including the soprano, alto and tenor recorders.

[@birdman4854]

@@christophertsiliacos8958 oh wow!! Thanks for the post. I was really wondering if i was to old. So of course I don’t practice very much with that attitude. Thank you for inspiring me. 🙏🏻

[@SuddenUpdraft]

I’m 68 and have been studying classical piano for about three years. But lately I’ve been wanting to add another dimension to my relationship with music. I first thought of guitar, but realized the finger callouses and position of my right shoulder would be problematic. Then, I thought of approaching my piano like a different instrument and add jazz to my learning. But now I think I’m going to try the recorder instead! Thank you for your helpful videos.

[@aramb]

When I see "beautiful" and "baroque" together, I'm there. Thanks so much!

[@laksmi]

I find it really difficult to explain how beautiful music can affect me so much, but with a piece like this (among a few others) I think it might be best to say that it both breaks AND mends my heart, all in the duration of the piece. Thank you Sarah, for sharing this.

[@bariefiealmusiqaa4633]

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for keeping this wonderful piece alive.

[@Doktor808]

'Magnifique'! like always! And to think that I have a tenor (plastic) to change a little from the soprano flute studied in college, I wanted to find my breath of thirty years ago, just to pick up the pieces, in order to complete my learning and one day I am stumbled upon your channel, what a joy! Thanks, 'Madame'.

[@bridgetsebba3328]

What a beautiful piece. Played with such expression.

[@niapawina]

I had fun with the part 3 beginner friendly section. I started playing about 2 months ago - teaching myself - and the feeling of playing something 'legit' with this little virtual trio was just so fun! It encourages me to practice so soon I'll be able to play the other sections! Also as a violin player, I'm not too familiar with baroque pieces and this one was lovely! Thanks Sarah!🙂

[@lawrencekellie]

The "Bye" at the end was great!

[@nenechonlisboa4127]

Hey Sarah! I bought the sheet music and the mp3 playalong tracks :) Very clear and well created ! Hope my little contribution will help the TeamRecorder :) Many thanks for all your great content :)

[@nwdragonfly]

You are fabulous. You persona and delightful perspective is lovely.. I play violin and am learning recorder to teach students I tutor basic music theory. Your videos are wonderful glimpses at what is possible with the recorder. So many of us have just heard hot cross buns.

[@l.m.mccormick1470]

Thank you so much for all your wonderful hints. I'm over 65, and just learning to play like a little kid, it's keeping my brain sharp. You're a real blessing!

[@mrbigarms]

62 here, just singed up for lessons, love the instrument and it music!

[@jamestricker3741]

What a lovely piece of music.

[@astakarolina]

I cant get enough of playing it! 😍 thank you so much!

[@MichaSloman]

Beautiful!

[@Moviefan01able]

Hi Sarah! You play the recorder and this tunes very gracefully! It goes straight to the heart, on the same time you are very indigenous and friendly. Every tone you play has a heartwarming meaning. You don't just play the tune, you feel the music! Thank you for this! Best wishes from Frank

[@luckybarrel7829]

I absolutely love your taste in music! Yaas this is brilliant, I luv it! I was riding those waves going up and down. A whole new world bish!

[@philippebolton1369]

Absolutely beautiful !

[@anticleiagarcia9084]

I love that you teach the recorder. Im foremost trying to get better at the guitar and there are times when I'm fatigued from playing even uninspired crashing up against the proverbial brick wall ! But alas there's Recorder and you to inspire and offset the doldrums that can occur every now and again. I love it I get to learn another cool instrument and the 💥 BONUS is 🪅! ? ! ? Having such beautiful teacher like you ! Thank you so very much for the lessons.

[@VassaTokareva]

You're channel is such an inspiration! Thank you sooooo much

[@ananditaisabel]

Thanks, Sarah!!

[@christophertsiliacos8958]

👏 Simply magnificent! I would like to be so bold to say in the imperative that this is the most heartbreakingly beautiful piece of baroque music ever - bar none! Sarah, you have done it again! A musician of your caliber has enraptured the essence of baroque music at its finest with this pièce de résistance of Renaissance. 👍😊 ♫

[@Madshadowgolem]

Very beautiful! I'm looking forward to the challenge of learning this!

[@nicoswanepoel7336]

Beautiful piece of music.. Thank you for your good videos to help and support people playing recorders.

[@billychalmers212]

Wow really nice. Thank you.

[@luxinveritate3365]

I love that Corelli clash at the end with the g and f#. The turn at the end of trills is very common in the classical too, tho more modern Trilling tends to not use turns, even on other instruments.

[@davidbenefiel9289]

Thank you for another inspiring video. I cannot wait to play it with my friends.

[@HaliPuppeh]

This piece is beautiful

[@rosievernau338]

Thank you! I am trying to convince my tiny hands to play the tenor and have been looking for something to inspire me - this is perfect!

[@Team_Recorder]

Yesss! And the great thing is, if your hands get tired you can just swap back to the alto version 😄

[@lousiakisini6574]

Awesome!!!

[@carstenfranciseduardveraar8757]

Ooooooh! So beutifull! It is realy amazing how these composers manage to weav theas voises ogether...

[@aaronag7876]

Outstanding piece of work. Just picked up a 2nd hand aulos tenor recorder to help with my collection of recorders. Thanks for your constant inspiration

[@jfthiesen2947]

Presented " by heart " ❣ Thank YOU ❣ jft from m 🇩🇪

[@joaomus]

There's a very beautiful passage for recorders in Lilly's Te deum. I think ist the sweetest part for recorder I know.

[@MultiPowow]

Beautiful

[@robertcornelius3514]

A very creative video. Thanks

[@TheAkumaChan]

Just stumbled onto this channel, each time I think of the recorder I can only be hit by the squeaking of my 4th grade class when it was mandatory to learn despite many people’s lack of both practice and talent. Was pretty impressed by how much better it can sound 😅 was wondering what’s the most difficult part of the instrument? Like the thing you hone for decades, I don’t have much experience with good recorder playing.

[@Team_Recorder]

Hmm good question! You can definitely spend decades honing your sound and tone - it's different on each recorder too, and you can manipulate it depending on the type of music you play. Technically it's definitely the coordination between fingers and tongue that's the most challenging. Years of fun!

[@andrewspencer4256]

Thanks so much for introducing us to Mattheson's flute music -- I didn't even know he'd written these pieces. Quite a find! I have a nerdy question relating to Mattheson's comments about the different 'affects' of different keys in different temperaments. In bar 59 you have a root position Eflat chord which sounds quite acid. (I'm presuming that this means that your a'=442 recorder is voiced in a non-equal temperament.) If you were performing this in a concert would you 'untemper' any of the notes (say, by flattening the g'') to get the chord 'in tune'? It's interesting that this is the only time in the entire movement where M. uses this chord, though it isn't exactly foreign to g minor, and, in fact, he only has half a dozen instances in the entire sonata, and most of them have ornamentation or passage work which partly obscures the harmony. Or am I reading too much into a simple piece?

[@troncogalleggia]

Great job, thanks, I'm starting to play it (I'm playing just since few years ago). A question: isn't it in D minor? Shouldn't G minor need a flat more (E)? BTW I see a 'b' also at E line in the last line first page voice 2 (51 on, in your package),but seems it shouldn't be there? Thks anyway, you're a constant inspiration and helpful.

[@doginabox9621]

Fantastic! I love seeing all of the new covers and information on these pieces. If I could ask do you have any favourite classical period pieces for the recorder? I know the recorder fell off during that period but that doesn’t mean we can’t play classical with a recorder :).

[@rmanpojo8485]

Thanks .. Great I downloaded you're version. tempo = 86 , Plz the intro ticks , 2 bars, a bit louder; would be fine, Fun to play. I hope more will come.

[@cronicaos7055]

GREAT!

[@zr6935]

Btw there is another chaccone by Mattheson - for two recorders, 3rd movement of Sonata Nr. XI - also very beautiful if a little bit harder. There is a couple of performances on YT (incl. a guitar version, also very nice).

[@marciabarbosa4600]

Show! Show! Parabéns!!!

[@elinecautaerts]

Het is overmooi!

[@intiviracocha1103]

Será posible agregar subítulos en español latino a sus videos? Gracias y felicitaciones.

[@christophertsiliacos8958]

Es posible pero no probable. Depende de Sarah. Buena suerte. 😊

[@jfthiesen2947]

I ❤ the recorder - family ❣👍

[@TimFatchen]

Now that was fun playing along! (perhaps I should go back to seriously practising? ....umm...! tho' my sightreading would have been a leetle better if I had the right glasses on!)

[@jeanmtiger]

Some people like watching paint dry, and some like to play a Recorder.

[@cutechiangels]

Thx Sarah, for this unison piece of lovely music ! Is that an alto flute or a tenor? Have a nice day! 👋

[@petetheterminator7932]

It's for 3 altos :)

[@Team_Recorder]

It’s an alto! But in my sheet music bundle I’ve transposed it for 3 tenor/sopranos or 3 basses, also beautiful:)

[@cutechiangels]

@@petetheterminator7932 Oh, thanks! 👍

[@SpargurYarnCrafts]

I love this piece, but I'm having trouble playing anything above the High C on my soprano recorder.

[@kovacsrobert271]

I'm still waiting for the bassoon video.

[@joelilchmann]

Beautiful! Thankyou for sharing! But didn't you play it in D minor? I only see one accidental. 🦄

[@steve3150]

I know what you mean it is beautiful.

[@ilirllukaci5345]

Apparently all of the extant compositions, save one opera, of this North German baroque composer were returned to Hamburg from Yerevan, Armenia in 1998.

[@kantele2008]

The recorder you are playing has such a wonderful sound. Would you tell me who makes this alto?

[@Team_Recorder]

Yoav Ran!

[@danielpittman889]

Sarah, what type of recorder should I get if I wish to play Bouree by Jethro Tull. I tried to play a flute, but my upper lip is partially paralyzed - I'm thinking I could at least attempt it on recorder.

[@StarsForward]

I mean... You're pretty good and all, but can you play Hot Cross Buns? 😉 For real though - I never knew a recorder could sound this great!

[@JoachimMink]

Thank you for this piece of wonderful music and your work here and generally! - I noticed when I read the score along, that you left out beat/tact 56-61. :-) Perhaps this line is too boring?

[@pecintaanime3441]

Can you play mozart twinkle twinkle little star I variation pls

The free PDF file on the link is not the same piece that Sarah is playing?

[@MagicMadBullet1985]

hay sorry dumb Question a few years ago a book or collection of books was mentioned that was a compilation of a blind guys works who was paid to keep gangs away i keep searching for it but google confuses either blind learning or recording audio for the blind so i can't find the name dose anyone recall the book or blind man name?

[@trainliker100]

Very nice. I've always felt recorders and baroque were a good pairing. For anybody looking for some beautiful "baroque" music, there were a couple of record albums released back in the 1960's that was Beatles music arranged in baroque style. Yes., Beatles music. One is titled "The Beatles on Baroque" and the other "The Baroque Beatles Book". The first is many Beatles songs arranged in the baroque style pretty well and is all instrumental. The second is done VERY well and you would swear Bach himself had a hand in it. Also, some of it includes chorale with that high tenor voice style. While the music is very serious, I can't help but laugh a little to the high-pitched baroque style singing "Help - I need somebody ... HEEEELP!!!" You can find the entire albums on KZbin and see that Beatles music spans the centuries pretty well.

[@lethientv2109]

Ok..good

[@edwardblair4096]

G minor, basically almost the same as G Dorian, one of the most common tonality of the Renaissance.

[@03Venture]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗🥰

[@michaelpierce9076]

Okay total newb question. My instrument sounds wrong. Looks like yours. I can sight read music fine. But its not correct. Why are you playing a low D for your instrument anyway when the music starts with a G?

[@mccypr]

😎

[@aleksandarbrzic8351]

WHY is the recording -1 on alto? the score as presented is soprano/tenor, why not playing it on a tenor? It would sound even better, I think, with three tenors...

[@Team_Recorder]

So the piece is originally for 3 altos, that's why I've made all the of the backing tracks that way. I included three different score transpositions in case you can want to play it with others that way as an extra bonus!

[@rubygray7749]

If only I was triplets.

[@josephwisniewski3673]

Lovely piece. But you might want to be careful about using the term "Music Minus One". That's the name of a New York company that's been rather "energetic" in defense of their trademark for some 70 years. At least they've given up on trying to sue anyone who sells scores along with recordings with one particular part omitted: they used to maintain they owned the very concept of "Music Minus One", not just the name. A handful of years back, they were bought by publishing giant Hal Leonard who, as hard as it is to imagine, is even more litigious than the MMO was in their heyday.

[@idraote]

These kind of companies are really annoying. Legislators should really do something about these frivolous litigations.

[@carudatta]

Well, that was only moderately plaintive and of very well tempered gayness. Must listen to it a few more times ☺

[@Team_Recorder]

I could definitely be more plaintive and gay

[@carudatta]

@@Team_Recorder Sounds like one of my teenage moods.

[@user-uz7gb7gb4v]

I identify as temperedly gay and am often moderately plaintive, and I must say, G minor is definitely my jam.🙃
