We will be using the modern scores, but will also provide facsimile parts of the pieces from book 1 (only) in case the recorders and viols would like to play from them. This is entirely optional. All other facsimiles are for interest only but you are welcome to download them HERE and play or sing from them if you would like to. Lutes, that’s where you will also find Lynda’s simplified lute parts. Please choose the versions you would like to play from and bring them with you.
