When Sarah started talking about Variations, my mind immediately went to van Eyck; than she precisely and explicitely cited his name! To top all of that, her Variations are a perfect calque of van Eyck's style, add them to the "Fluytist Lust-Hof" and no one, except for those very familiar with the work and knowing it practically by photographic memory, Index included, will notice something have been added.

I watched how you responded to the TwoViolins, or whatever they are called. In this day and age, with all the mud slinging, you bring so much positive, AND, so much to building the recorder world. Thank you. Few songs I like getting "on my mind" but the Wellerman is not one of them. Now, to see if I can sing your variations when I drive!

This song has become a giant...so much that now all my husband does is listen to sea shanties (except that he was into it before it blew up on tiktok), so much so that he picked up a concertina and is currently learning it as we speak. I do not play recorder I actually play guitar and mandolin but I stumbled across this channel because I'm always looking for new interesting instruments and sounds also totally into old timey and renaissance music. I didn't know professional recorders were even a thing I thought children just got them when they turned 8, however you rock it. Although the latest thing Ive seen is called a venova, seems like a cross between a recorder and a sax...I would like to see your hand at the venova, available on amazon. lol

Touché! 👍 😁 I always make it a point to play sea shanties on the concertina. They never "sound dry" when played on the concertina. 😥 BTW: Sea shanties sound great on the tin whistle too. But you already knew that. 👌 😉 ♫

Ik kan niet 'van het blad' zingen, dus speelde ik het op de blokfluit ... what a wonderful day this is - alles wat tien jaar mijn leven beheerste is terug in een haalbare vorm en ook al heb ik zwarte sneeuw gezien, ik voel me als herboren ... het is duidelijk dat ik heel binnenkort dit ene lichaam loslaat en dus ook dit ene leven, maar er is aan vervanging gedacht en Sophia is 31 jaar jonger dan ik, dus heeft nog een heel leven voor zich (en kan en mag haar eigen keuzes maken). Ook al is de blokfluit vaak het onderwerp van spot (mijn kinderen vonden de doedelzak een tweede beste als het over een totaal nutteloos muziekinstrument ging) het blijft in mijn repertoire, want het geeft me RUST, omdat je niet blaast maar ADEMT. Het brengt me naadloos bij Patrick, de pide pieper, dankzij hem heb ik de moeilijkste stap van mijn leven gezet - het me losmaken uit een toxische relatie. Al wat ik voor mezelf moest veranderen, is een aanbeveling voor vrouwen is een vergelijkbare situatie - we ZIJN mooie wezens, waarom zouden we dat ontkennen - mannen willen geen koude rots omarmen en wij kunnen ze weer op kamertemperatuur brengen ... het is geen fijne reis geweest, maar ik heb mijn VRIJHEID herwonnen en ook al was Patrick niet aan mijn zijde, hij was wel in mijn hoofd ... PISCES is uitgesteld tot ik in mijn nieuwe lichaam huis - het staat voor Patrick & Isabella's Court Ensemble en de bedoeling is dat we Early Music spelen zonder kapsones, maar wel met een toef slagroom op de taart ... ik hou van hem en iedereen mag dat weten - als ik hem hoor spelen (en ik herken zijn stijl uit alle andere blokfluitspelers) dan sluit ik mijn ogen en denk ik aan wat had kunnen zijn ... als iets de bedoeling was, dan komt het terug in een andere vorm en het was het wachten waard!

I hope I’m not too late. But recorders that seem really good are Adri’s dream recorders, it’s the brand she is using in the video. Whilst they are quite expensive, I really like their sound. Just find a recorder you like the sound of, of course. It doesn’t need to be handmade to be good nor does it have to be wooden or expensive. The newer plastics recorders are so good nowadays. I think Sara has put up videos on choosing recorders. I think I’m too late, but I hope I was helpful. 😊

Though I am no guitar player, looking at "Do Re Mi" in the video I can still immediately imagine, how it is going with the tunes of the simple version of the shanty even without looking at the note sheat :)
