Composed for Alia Musica in 1978, the set of pieces includes a solo, a duet, a trio, a quartet, and two sextets.  Each of the movements is given “name” titles for the six members of Alia Musica, a ’70s early music ensemble in Seattle, Washington.  The members were: Carleton Macy, Julia Macy, Phyllis Hoar, Jerome Kohl, Martha Funderburgh, and Jim Funderburgh.

There is no recording of this version for recorders, but there is a recording of a transcribed version for flutes which is included here and has a 7th movement added to the original.  The parts are provided for movements 5 and 6.  Players should play from score on the other movements.
