The three unassuming dance pieces that make up the small recorder suite that my father, LaNoue Davenport, titled A Day in the Park: Children’s Suite, occupy a fascinating place in the early history of the recorder movement in America. I’m intimately familiar with the melodies and can still play them off the top of my head. That’s because I grew up listening to the LP (also called A Day in the Park) that
included the recorder suite, recorded in 1959. This suite for four recorders was published in 1955 by American Music Publishers as No. 17 of the American Recorder Society Editions, edited by Erich Katz. It sold for 60 cents! (text continued in download)
