'Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves' was commissioned by the Flanders Recorder Quartet for the 1991 Recorder Week in Kampenhout (Belgium). The music roughly follows the well-known story of Ali Baba and uses the typical modes of the Middle East as well as a few contemporary playing techniques. The two-choir structure of the piece allows recorder players of different abilities to play together, as Choir II demands a higher level of playing than Choir I.
