Album Notes

The Trinity Recorder Consort and guitarist John Waldo capture a select collection of the works of Andrew Charlton (1928-1997). A true renaissance man, Charlton was, according to colleague David Grimes, an original composer, an unusually skilled arranger, and a walking encyclopedia of all things musical. Founder of the guitar department at Cal State Fullerton, he composed numerous works for the instrument. Charlton was a noted performer of all members of the recorder family and his works for the instrument are, as Grimes says, "treasured by the recorder community worldwide."

The Trinity Recorder Consort is based in Madison, Wisconsin, where this album was recorded.
