fntroduction
Recorder ensembles from the East Bay Recorder Society have been performing
for shut-ins and residents of retirement and nursing homes for several years. Members
found that not all music selections worked well and that they sometimes lacked skills in
connecting with this specialized audience. The chapter needed a cornmon set of music to
perform that was geared specifically to senior citizens. This Gig Book was created for
that purpose and will, as well, allow recorder ensembles to play for their own pleasure or
perform for any occasion with a minimum of rehearsal time.
The book includes repertoire from the medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque
periods, as well as traditional music, in two to four parts. Some of the pieces are given in
both trvo- and three-part arrangements. Chord symbols are provided above the bass lines
for harp and guitar players. Most of the pieces are organized so that ensembles can play
them as long sets.
Background
For centuries people have written about music's power to help in healing body
and soul. The effects of music on creativity, learning and health are now widely
documented. In the past ten years studies have established impressive data showing the
effects of music in various medical situations. Music can reduce anxiety, decrease pain,
lower blood pressure, heart rate, and stress-related hormones, increase endorphin levels
and enhance the immune system.
V1
Always observe t}re energy of your listenen, before starting to play. Bringing
upbeat music right away to people feeling lethargio often doesn't work, whereas ifyou
practice entrainment and match their energy before gradually shifting it, their bodies will
follow the change of pace and align to the new rhythm. In the sarle marner, starting to
play slow, relaxing music to a roomful of people who are agitat€d won't work; whereas if
you match their energy, then gradually slow down the music, they will entain to the
slower rhythm.
Instrumentation
' The sound of the lower recorders is much mellower to the ears than higher
instruments. Play Alto-Tenor-Bass combinations as much as possible.
' Adding other instnxnents enhances the texture and creates variety: viola da
gamba or cello orthe bass line, guitar or folk harp playing chords.
o ft1 the four-part pieces, harpists and guitarists can add their own chords. The
pieces that would be enhanced by chordal accompaniment are Monsieur's
Almaine, Phillips Pavin, Reflexion, Sarabande and Chasse.
vlr
' Alter the rhythmic treatnent of pieces.Take a medieval piece: play it first as a
chant, arrhythmically and with a drone underneatlr, then as a rhythmic dance.
' Build a tbree to four-part piece by layers, from simple to complex: start with one
part, then add another, t}ren a third and a fourth.
' Don't stop between pieces to talk; finish a set before answering questions listeners
might have
' Memorize pieces! Free yourself from the music stand! When you are playing
frorn memory, you are much more tuned in to the people in your environment and
are responding to them in a more spontaneous way.
Practical advice
. Write up a one-page descripion of what your group offers.
r Contact the activities director at each senior center or rest home.
. Visit the site to see what the performance space is like.
' I\rt together one hour of repertoire that flows smoothly, with one break in the
middle. Use the process of enfiainment for each half
' Dress nicely; a good presentation is very important, and shows respect for your
audience.
' On the day you are playing, inffoduce yourselves and explain that you will be
offering two sets ofmusic with no intemrption. Ask people to save applause for
the end of each set.
-' Leave some time at the end to describe your instruments and answer questions.
. Don't give up! If a door slams in your face, try another. If you don't get a
response, try again. I have found that even when I offer something for free as a
community service, it sometimes takes three to six montls to get a positive
response from an adminisbator.
' Read about healing music and how it works. Consult the bibliography at the end
ofthis book.

Healing Muses was founded from personal experience in 1999 by Eileen Hadidian, a
professional flutist and recorder player who was greatly strengthened by music during
her battle with cancer. ln 2001 Healing Muses incorporated as a 501(cX3) nonprofit
organization. Healing Muses brings soothing music to Bay Area medical centers to
those in need without direct cost to patients. The musicians who serve as Healing
Muses have demonstrated the ability to embody therapeutic presence.
Eileen also noted the following two organizations in her original edition of this Gig Book;
