Today during recorder rehearsal, we played a blues piece that everyone enjoyed, so when I came home, I wondered if any of the 3 jazz pieces I'd written for string orchestra would translate to recorder group. I looked at my Hershey Bar Rag and Sneakin' Around, but there were parts that I knew would not work. Then I looked at my Low 1 Boogie, and I thought it might just do the trick. After transferring the parts over and seeing where the parts were too high or low and adjusting a few other details, I sent it off to the Village Pipers.
I changed the name to just Boogie since low 1 refers to a finger position for strings - in this case a Bb.
We'll see if this one works, and then I might be tempted to write and arrange other music for this group.
