Description
Constellations Set III (2020) is an album of ten exciting pieces for Descant Recorder and Piano in varied styles and moods. Each piece takes inspiration from the star patterns and ancient mythology of the constellations in the night sky. Among the ten pieces you will find a creepy Lizard (Lacerta), a flying horse (Pegasus), a little yapping dog (Canis Minor), a slithery snake (Serpens) as well as a cunning fox (Vulpecula).

These entertaining pieces are an ideal repertoire resource for students and teachers supporting learning from an early stage through to higher technical and musical abilities. They are complete, standalone concert pieces that can form part of an engaging recital performance or simply playing for enjoyment.
