'Round About Morning
by M.C. Handel
The lyrical solo trumpet and orchestra make this sweet round pleasant to listen to and pleasant to play. It also accomplishes two important things for beginning recorder players. First, it adds the notes low D and low E to their repertoire of B, A, and G. And second, it introduces them to part playing. This occurs on the repeat when they divide into two parts and play as a round. The tune is also in 3/4, which can help reinforce the use of that meter.
