Damigella Tutta Bella

[bunyip]

As some know I play and teach music, mainly classical, I happened upon this, three young girls with recorders.
Recorders are a basic school instrument with a one ocatve range but the good players can extract three octaves with breathing control, lower breath, deeper note, higher breathe higher note, now just try to combine this in one piece and you have a challenge.
The piece translates as beautiful young damsels (ladies), the soprano I am guessing is their teacher and you can see she is enjoying the performance.
Enjoy or just back out if you don't like

I recognize the instruments on the right/left as recorders. The middle instrument - ?? mighty big recorder.....

Bass or Contra Bass recorder, some are keyed but not all, the other two are alto and tenor (I think), there are a few in the family although the bass can be mistaken for a bassoon.

Surfed into this video a few years ago on YouTube. The little girl has a wonderful voice which fits the song perfectly. Listening and watching her sing, compared to some of the bored kids in the background, just makes it that much better. :laughing::laughing::laughing:
