Recorder Information
For the purposes of the New Music for Old Instruments project, baroque recorders will be discussed, although DUMIC has both baroque and renaissance types.
An excellent source for information on ranges and notation of recorder parts is the Dolmetsch Online site.
In addition, there is a guide by Ann Bies, which she wrote for a composer friend in 2003.
As English and American terminology is different, here is a list with both and the key of each:
Soprano/Descant: C
Alto/Treble: F
Tenor: C
Bass/Bass in F: F
