December 23, 200916 yr Anyone know what the written range for a soprano Recorder in C would be? or should I use a different instrument for this, and so, what would you suggest using and please don't say Piccolo since the piccolo has an extremely involved part in the piece.
December 24, 200916 yr I apologise for the appearance of the Wiki currently, for it is not integrated with the forum theme yet, but the information is still on there. :) http://wiki.youngcomposers.com/Recorder So, essentially C5 to D7. I could provide recordings myself if you so wish, would take about 3 minutes of my time tomorrow morning. :happy:
December 25, 200916 yr I would think you might want to keep pretty much away from the high C and D on the recorder range...it tends to get shrill and obnoxious up there.
December 25, 200916 yr C two lines above the staff? That's a fine note. So is D. The high E is the one that isn't so pretty. But then again, this could all be evaluated differently depending on what context you're putting the sounds into.
December 26, 200916 yr Oh by the way! I was wrong. Written range is C4 to D6. The sounding range is C5 to D7, since it technically transposes at the octave. :)
