recorder SOUND FILES, Vol. 1

16 Hours of Recorder Accompaniment Tracks
This massive audio collection is the perfect companion to Volume 1 of the Recorder Sheet Music Archive. Whether you’re playing solos or chamber works, you can now perform your entire library with harpsichord, piano, or even a virtual Recorder ensemble—always in tune and ready to go.

Here’s What You Get:

  • Solo Works: Each comes with two tracks—one with Recorder and keyboard, and one with keyboard alone. Both versions are tempo-matched for seamless switching.
  • Quartets, Quintets, and Sextets: Quartets include five files per piece—a full ensemble version, plus four with one part missing so you can play along. Larger ensembles work the same way, with even more flexibility.

Bonus Slower Versions:
For the especially fast or tricky movements, we’ve added recordings at 80% speed—great for practice without sacrificing musicality. Full-speed versions are included as well.

Whether you’re rehearsing, performing, or just having fun, this collection lets you bring your Recorder music to life with professional accompaniment—anytime.

Our archives come in 3 flavors.

  • Digital download – get it now – save some $$
  • USB Flash Drive

Get Instant Access with Digital Downloads
You can start exploring your sheet music archive right away with our digital download option! Just a few important things to know before you begin:

  1. Download Link – After purchase, you’ll receive a secure link to download your files.
  2. Large .ZIP Files – These are big! Make sure you have enough space on your hard drive before starting the download. If you’re unfamiliar with .zip files, please look up how to unzip them before downloading.
  3. Use a Computer – Don’t try to download on a smartphone or tablet—most mobile devices don’t handle large files well.
  4. Stable Connection Needed – Use a strong home WiFi or wired connection. Avoid public networks like Starbucks WiFi, which can be unreliable.
  5. Be Patient – These large files can take time to download. Once you click “Download,” give it some time—especially on slower connections. Check your Downloads folder when it’s done.

If you’ve got a solid internet connection at home, digital downloads are a fast, easy way to dive into your music archive today!

About This Archive
