Couperin: Le Rossignol en Amour | Hanneke van Proosdij, sixth flute (recorder); D. Tam, harpsichord

Couperin's delightful harpsichord piece, arranged for sixth flute and performed by Hanneke van Proosdij and Derek Tam. 4K video from our "Evening in Paris" concert, 2018.
The sixth flute is a recorder pitched six notes above the alto recorder, in D. Smaller than a soprano recorder, but larger than a sopranino, it plays in the same range as the baroque piccolo and has a complex, refined sound.
'Le rossignol en amour' (the nightingale in love) appears as a character piece in in the 14th 'ordre' of Couperin's Troisième Livre de pièces de clavecin.
Couperin gave the following instructions: "It is not necessary to follow the beat too closely in the variations: place the emphasis on expression, play the fast notes cleanly, and round off the marked ornaments. This “Rossignol” can be performed with the great success on the flute if well played." #Couperin

This music expresses so much tenderness! The execution is magnificent!

[@ruthsaltzman8986]

I’ve been watching this for 4days, several times of day; my heart keeps yearning for the beauty. How I would love to play this though I am only a 66 year old beginner.

[@VoicesofMusic]

You can do it!

[@cubanmotion2010]

I started viola at 51. You can do it! (But you gotta practice...)

[@ruthsaltzman8986]

@@VoicesofMusic thanks so much for the encouragement. And also Erik.

I’ve seen her playing the harpsichord on every nice Renaissance and baroque video, first time I see her play the recorder, lovely too!

I’ve been played baroque recorder for 6 years. What a perfect execution 👍🏼👌

[@sarazoni2965]

I played sopranino, soprano and contralto, I read that this is a Sixth note …nice. I thought it was a soprano, but The register is higher, infact.

[@Chompchompyerded]

The Rooster in Love. Such a delightful little piece. Makes me feel like French Royalty even though I'm about to go to a pauper's home. Better than being Guillotined I guess though. That's execution that is not so magnificent.

[@mkf-violin]

Student in junior high school in here learn recorder but we don't know that recorder can be play very beautifully like this, probably because classical music including Baroque is not familiar in here.

[@c3piano]

Brilliant, but could you expect sixth flute to me?

[@VoicesofMusic]

The sixth flute is a recorder pitched six notes above the alto recorder, in D. Smaller than a soprano recorder, but larger than a sopranino, it plays in the same range as the baroque piccolo and has a complex, refined sound.

[@c3piano]
