//// THE ROYAL WIND MUSIC
The Royal Wind Music is an ensemble consisting of twelve musicians from seven different countries performing on a collection of 45 renaissance recorders. The group was founded in 1997 by Paul Leenhouts and has captivated a steadily-growing worldwide audience ever since with its performances of instrumental music from the period 1520-1640. Their wish to bring Renaissance music to life in an authentic and accessible way results in programmes that juxtapose rarely heard compositions with well-known repertoire. Playing entirely from memory and without a conductor, The Royal Wind Music is also known for its engaging performances and ability to communicate with the audience.

All those recorders playing together sounds just like a church organ.
Randall Hill well, that's what an organ is - choruses of flutes and oboes. : )
right on the spot!
Pretty sure a church organ is less expensive lol
Beautiful. Must see Royal Wind Music live one day.
It’s surprising how much more you enjoy a piece of music when you’re given an introduction to it. Thank you Sarah for sharing. I really enjoyed all the pieces.
Just magic! Love the voices with the recorders so beautiful
Thank you, really enjoyed the introduction and the pieces. It must be fantastic playing in a group like this! Belated congratulations on the birth of your daughter
Congratulations on the new addition to your family. The consort performance was marvelous. Bravo!
Sarah, loved this video! Transcending music, thank you!!
A perfect match - the voices an the recorders! Absolutely lovely!
Oh my word. Serious thrills going on in my body as I listen to these little snippets of performance. Gorgeous!
MERVEILLEUX!!!!! MAGNIFIQUE!!!!!
Simply fabulous!
Welcome back Sarah. Your intervening "pre-recorded" videos were a lot of fun and useful. Excellent planning on your part to allow yourself some much needed time - and congratulations on daughter!
Thank you for the links here especially to Consort Counsellors...
Congratulations! I remember having a young family was a really happy time. I hope it is for you, too.
Beautiful arrangements and performances!
Congratulations to the baby and her parents! It must be wonderful to grow up between all these recorders and with a mother who knows how to handle them the way you do. The music snippets in this video are so incredibly beautiful - wish I could have been at the concert. This kind of music is the reason why I started to take recorder lessons.
This old and fundamental music is so relaxing😍
Beautiful performances! And congratulations!
Congratulations! And lovely music as always!
That was really fantastic. Thanks.
Thank you SO much. I learn something new every. single. day.
that last piece tho! ahhhmazing!
Beautiful!!!
Hi Sarah, I'm so glad to see you again happy and healthy :-) (although with somewhat sleep-lacking eyes, but maybe I'm mistaken?) The music you present here is wonderful. I'm getting the CD now!
Haha, very sleep lacking! 😅 Enjoy the cd!
Bravo Rowind! Voices & Recorders a wonderful blend indeed! Harry
That was exquisitely beautiful
Loved it! It sounded so beautiful😍
Awesome!
Magnificent!!!
beautiful...and congratulations!!
Sounds great!!! Congrads on the baby Sarah!!
Not surprising it sounds like an organ, given the big wooden wind pipes, when you think about it. Amazing!
This is beautiful!
Bravo!
Das ist fantastisch!
GREAT MUSIC!
Love all your vids! Congrats on the birth of your bebe' :)
That is so beautiful Sarah, thank you so much, and love to your daughter.
Thank you! ☺️
Muito lindo esse clássico de voz
Thank you Sarah , it’s so good to see you back and what an amazing ensemble. It helps so much to have some introductory explanation of the music. I bet it’s incredible to be part of a big, professional ensemble. I find it incredible that everyone has memorised their parts. A tutorial on memorisation would be great. I really struggle to learn to play anything without music in front of me! Sarah
Sarah's done a video on memorisation already, have you forgotton? haha

Thanks Tom, that's the one :)
congrats... thanks for the vids
Ouch...Een baby, heerlijk! Warm gefeliciteerd! (+ zo mooie muziek!)
Congratulations!! :)
beautiful
Your videos are so amazing!!! It inspired me to play the soprano recorder again!!
Love the Royal Wind Music, and have been persuaded to buy a CD, the first I have bought for a long time. I hadn't realised that renaissance recorders could sound so beautiful. Many thanks for that.
BTW - it's "tessitura".
Great that you bought the CD! 😄
(ahhhh I thought I spelled it wrong! buaaaa)
that piece was incrrdibly beautiful, the gaudate
Congratulations ! And thank you for sharing these beautiful clips! Here in Cape Town your friend Susan is teaching us ensemble playing!
Ah wonderful! Greetings to Susan! 💜
ah! congratulations sensei
Congratulations,
Please do more videos on Renaissance recorders.
Aaaaaa I did a uni module about renaissance music and I understand all the things
Could you do a video lesson on exercises for the notes Eb (6-) and Db (7-) on the baroque soprano flute? For example: First pentachord of Cm Aeolian or Phrygian. I am very grateful for your guidance.
That was beautiful! thankyou for showing us your performance! :) xx Do you alot of the same recorders in these types of performances or do you swap about quite abit?
Wow, you are really a very responsible person. We did not notice tthat you were absent, yo pre-recorded everything.
😅💪🏼
Thank you Sarah. I really loved that last piece you said was an Encore from your concert. I only wish it was longer, . I love the lively tempo, and bright spirit of the piece. P.S. Which one are you in the group? the frame is too small to pick out individual faces, except for those I know. I recognize, Maria, Stephanie Brandt and Hester Groenleer, but can't recognize anyone else.
Hi Charles! We do play it as an encore, but also in its full version during the programme, which is about four times longer! It's a really fun arrangement :)
In the group I have long blonde hair and a black jumpsuit on (hard to see I know!) In 'De Wert' I am over on the right, playing the C bass recorder, for example, and in 'Froberger' I'm in the middle playing F basset, and in 'Willaert' I'm in the middle playing tenor. And ah Stephanie isn't in this video - I wonder who looks like her!
You are also my own chiropractor, yoga teacher and physical therapist. I got an Adris Dream alto and I always got squeaks on only 2 notes--legatto from hi g to hi a. I checked my fingers and air and hit my head with the pearwood head joint a few times Then I straightened posture and the devil was a crooked jaw, mouth and lips pushing air to the sides of the air way
Now I'm squeakless I'm an ex squeaker Squeaks begone Thank you for the 'How to hold' video
Awwwww great!!!!
Thks AdrisDream is a beautiful recorder but unforgiving I must play in perfect position
And whilst playing notes that use several fingers of both hands--All fingers must open and close TOGETHER. No 'slackers'
Hello Sarah and welcome back! Once again congratulations for the baby :)
A small typo in the video, it's "tessitura", not "tessiAtura"
Ah! I always stick extra syllables in things, like ‘eng-a-land’ 😣
Lovely sound. You would really miss the sub-contra bass if it wasn't there!
Haha nice to see my own face hiding behind the F-bass in the pictures. 😊
😄😄
Thank you for sharing. Those were wonderful clips. Question - can everyone in the Royal Wind Music play any of the recorders, or do you all specialize in one/couple/several?
All members of RWM can play any of the recorders. For some players, the large instruments are difficult because of the stretch required to cover the finger holes, especially of the left hand. In that sense, yes, there are a few players with a special affinity to certain instruments, like the sub-contrabass!
Exactly! I unfortunately cannot stretch to the 3 meter tall subcontrabass.. (it’s my left hand ring finger that’s the culprit) but the rest I can! Though height isn’t a measure of stretch- some of our shortest members of masters of the biggest instruments! 💪🏼
Hey Sarah! I really love your videos! I have a question, how can you get a smooth transition between E and F, and also B and C on a soprano recorder when playing legato ?
B and C is just a matter of fingering. Instead of B=0 1 play B=0 2 3, then for the C you only have to lift up finger 3. For the E and F, it's the curse of us recorder players...
Wish i could preform with the ansamble
Hi,Sarah :) I have a question maybe it sounds silly but what's the difference between renaissance and medieval music??? Music wise I mean...
God save The Queen!
The recorder ensemble is like a cheap in material but labor intensive pipe organ.
Fun fact: “ut” got changed to “do” because it is an easier more open vowel sound to sing
I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY THAT WAS THANK YOUUU
Sarah Jeffery / Team Recorder yeah you wouldn’t want to finish a perfect cadence by singing an obnoxious UUUUUUUUUT on the tonic, so over the years “do” was used instead because it just sounds so much nicer :)
very interesting
For all you Team Recorder viewers, after listening to Professor Sarah’s enlightening lecture, for subsequent viewing of this entertaining video, you can fast track to the snippets of the "The Royal Wind Music" recorder ensemble beginning at 0:57 4:44 7:07 8:19 and 9:47 😊 🎼 ♫
You can also watch more / subscribe to our UA-cam channel :)
Done! 😊 🎼 ♫
I can’t find the links to buy the cd. Help!
It's in the video description! But here again: royalwindmusic.ecwid.com/
Hello Sarah! Is the Royal Wind Music plays onlly renaissance repertoire? Thanks! :)))
Hi Noam! We mostly perform 16th and early 17th century music, although sometimes we arrange earlier and later repertoire as well.
Our setting does not aim to "reconstruct" the practice of consort playing in the Renaissance and in that sense we allow ourselves some liberties, like playing Bach on Renaissance recorders or combining recorder sizes that would probably not have been played together in the past. We do have great respect for the aesthetics, structure and content of this music and hope to "translate" it meaningfully for contemporary ears!
Thanks for your interest!
Thank you very much Sarah! You make a great service for the Recorders and the Music world! :))
The music itself starts at 4.40
are you dutch?
8:19
4:44
What is her name?
Willaert was late Renaissance, not medieval. Just so your audience knows.
Which one were you, Sarah?
7th from left, playing a C bass!
@@Team_Recorder Thank you. That's also called the great bass. One octave below the tenor, right?
Congrats! Im new so idk whats happening
Wait, she was born?!?
Yes, 8 weeks ago now 😉
Sarah Jeffery / Team Recorder congratulations Serah!
Very nice sampling of the group's repertoire, played beautifully! However, I would like to offer a sincere prayer to the current Grand High Poo-bahs of University recorder pedagogy: "Oh Great Teachers de Blokfluit (yes, you, Nederlanders...) please deign to save us all in the audience from the pestilence of watching recorder players doing that extremely distracting and excessive open-mouth nibbling at the beak as an articulation technique. Amen." And while I'm still in reverent prayer: "Tell them that they're making us all dizzy out here in the dark when they're making giant circles with their instruments. Amen, again."
Thank you. The pieces do give an impression of a church organ, but if it would have had a normal clear articulation - not that muddy unified overlapping tones sounding both grandly and mechanically.
I want you to play for song to me, can you play..?
Love the mind. The lipstick needs help
Please can we see the baby?
Jean Reynolds look at her Instagram acc: @sockmyshoe
There is no 'a' in the word 'Tessitura'- at least in English, Italian, and French. Just sayin'.....
big mouth
Beautiful!
