Porcupine Rag is not especially prickly as the title might suggest. It is a fairly straightforward undemanding rag composition in an ABACD form. It has a dream part for the 1st tenor who has the melody from the first bar to the last without a break. The 2nd tenor, which could be doubled for a few bars, has to perform very accurately in fitting in with the first voice. In all, a nice piece of work which melds very well in this recorder adaptation with regard to the tenor and bass recorder timbres.
