P 488 Five Easy Quartets by Marg Hall for SATB, £6.25
1. Out in the Open; 2. Waltz; 3. Duck Day; 4. Song; 5. Jig. In the spring 2013 issue of The Recorder Magazine, Steve Marshall wrote an article entitled "Writing Music for 'Forgotten' Groups". In it, he said that there was a great shortage of music for players of modest ability who want music "they can enjoy playing with friends now or very soon, rather than after some lengthy process of improvement that they are unlikely to ever undertake". These pieces are an attempt to meet that need.
         "Easy" is of course a relative term, and against Steve's instructions, I have written one piece with TWO sharps in the key signature, and a scattering of (the easier) accidentals throughout. But I hope that if you feel "forgotten" you will enjoy the music!
