Recorder Quartet
Ronald Read – One Octave Polka (Recorder Quartet) – Digital Download
This work was originally written for ocarinas, and in consequence each part is restricted to a range of just one octave, hence the title. It is a lively little polka in which the melody is continually being passed from one to the other of the upper parts. A fun piece that is reminiscent of a fairground organ.
