“…Sounds of local birdsong are used, another interesting reflection of the recorder's historical representation in eighteenth-century Italian and French opera, 25 and in teaching birds to sing. 26 As the techniques used by the live players are not always prescribed by the composer in the score, the idiomatic playing of each performer on different instruments came out in the performance. For the second player, the Paetzold's ability to create percussive sounds and overtones became a feature in the live interpretation of the score.…”

A striking instrumental design innovation in recent years has been the development of the Paetzold ‘square bass’ bass recorders, sparking interest among performers and composers to develop a new approach to contemporary performance practice and electroacoustic composition. This article examines two works by Australian composers that have been performed by the author. Both pieces are written for the Paetzold contrabass recorder in F, applying its unique sound palette within different compositional approaches and structures. The electroacoustic works surveyed also use a fixed media soundscape drawing on varying levels of gesture and improvisation from the live performer(s). The works present different relationships between the pre-recorded soundscape and the contrabass recorder and provide an opportunity for the performer to experiment with the large range of sounds possible. This article also serves as a summary of tools, sounds and techniques for composers interested in writing for the instrument.

The Recorder and its Music

Abstract: When I speak of the recorder as a musical instrument, I do so knowing that you cannot fail to have heard the instrument at some time, as it is now once again an integral part of our musical life.
