About this sheet music (PDF)

“Bran” by OMNIA carries a strong modern pagan/folk atmosphere—melodic, hypnotic, and highly effective for live performance. This arrangement is designed to work beautifully on alto recorder (F) and sopranino recorder, while remaining flexible enough for any melodic instrument that reads standard notation. Chords are included to make accompaniment easy for guitar, piano/keys, harp, or backing tracks.

If you’re building a repertoire for folk gigs, medieval/fantasy-themed sets, or atmospheric concerts, this piece is especially useful because it delivers a powerful vibe with a clear melodic line that audiences quickly connect with.

Why it works well for alto & sopranino recorder

On alto recorder, E minor tends to sound expressive and dark without requiring extreme finger gymnastics, which is perfect for tone work and phrasing. On sopranino, the melody gains a more piercing, “mystical” color—great for cutting through accompaniment in ensemble contexts.

This score is also excellent for developing:

• Clean melodic phrasing (long lines that teach breath planning)
• Controlled articulation (you can keep it smooth or add a slightly percussive folk attack)
• Expressive dynamics (small crescendos/decrescendos make the folk character shine)
• Ensemble awareness (the chord symbols guide harmonic direction, helping you lock in musically with accompaniment)

Performance tips

Start with a steady pulse and focus on a warm, centered tone. Let the melody breathe—avoid over-articulating. Once the line is secure, experiment with subtle ornaments (small grace notes, light separations, or folk-style embellishments) only where they reinforce the rhythm and mood.
