| HISTORY OF RECORDER
The recorder, a member of the woodwind family, dates back to medieval times . Recorders were very popular during the Rennaisance and were featured in chamber music during the baroque period. The advent of the concert halls in the 19th Century made it difficult to hear the soft tone of the recorder and it fell out of popularity. Fortunately they were reivived during the 20th Century and perhaps most popular today. |
