SM3a Thomas Baltzar: Airs
for solo violin, arr. for viola

$10
The same music as above, but transposed down a fifth and put into alto clef for viola. No other changes made. This should be a valuable addition to the scarce 17th century repertoire for viola.
     

SM9 A. Vivaldi: Sonata in C major, RV48

$15

 This sonata was written for flute but can also be played on violin or recorder. It is not particularly difficult music. The figured bass has been realised, and it comes with flute, bass and keyboard parts. The figured bass is also given.
     

SM17 Anon: Old Symon the King, and Woodycock

$10

These two pieces for solo violin (with optional keyboard accompaniment) are not terribly difficult, and are fun to play. Old Symon was taken from a manuscript, while Woodycock is an arrangement of the bass viol piece.
       

SM23 F. Caccini: Laudate Dominum & Haec dies, arr. for tenor recorder (violin) & b.c.

$12

 Another of Ben Thorn's arrangements of music by early female composers. Daughter of the famous Giulio Caccini, Francesca published these two works in 1618. This piece would also work played on violin.
       
 

SM30a Monteclair: Premier Concert, arr. for 2 cellos

$18

 

Originally for two flutes, this charming suite has been transposed and put into bass clef to suit cellos. It is quite a substantial suite, and suitable for teaching or performance. SM30 is an arrangement of the same work for 2 viols or violas. (See the viol duos page for details) Two scores.
To see a sample of this music please go to the Viol duos page and look at SM30
  See also the pages for viols and the chamber music, as some of these works may be playable on other stringed instruments.
