Music Editions Introduction |

When VdGS Music Editions were first issued in the 1960s, they were called Supplementary Publications. Their purpose was to make British viol music available in good value playable editions; they were carefully edited by enthusiasts from original sources and written out in clear manuscript. There are now over 150 titles in the catalogue, and these have recently been typeset and are now available with scores. Parts have been set out with the player's needs foremost - where possible the parts are still available in manuscript as an alternative to typeset and alternative clefs can be requested. Many VdGS Music Editions have organ parts. In the last forty years many works by major viol composers have been re-published in collected editions. The VdGS publications saves players from having to buy a whole collection in order to find out whether they like that composer. They can buy one or two titles from a collection which are generally fairly cheap and often include an organ part. Unattributed compositions and those composers with few surviving pieces are less popular with publishers and are often only available as VdGS Music Editions. The series includes some of the best of British viol music. New editions are published once or twice a year and are available for an initial period to VdGS members at 10% discount. The series is edited by Virginia Brookes: telephone +44 (0) 1865 242591 or e-mail the distributor: Stephen Pegler e-mail me who welcomes suggestions for suitable publications of any viol related music or submissions of editions for publication. To join the VdGS go to membership. Bargain stock clearance set 20 editions for £20 (£13 to members) plus £7 postage (£15 postage outside UK) We still have stock of 26 titles printed from good quality manuscript masters (parts only, no score) that have been superseded by our typeset editions. If you order quickly you will get 38 Fantasies, 20 Aires, 8 Pavans and 4 In Nomies by Anon, Coleman, Cranford, Deering, Ferrabosco II, Ford, Ives, Jenkins, Lupo, Mico, Okeover, Pilkington, Rogers, Tomkins, Weelkes and White. As each line runs out it will be removed from the bundle but a mininum contents will be 20 editions. These editions are from the golden age of VdGS Supplementary Publications and are a joy to play from.
New Editions in Autumn 2008: To use this catalogue - click on a page according to how many parts the piece is written for. The price shown is for non-members (GB VdGS members receive a price list with their newsletter, but they can estimate prices by subtracting one third). You can check which it is, and whether you already have it, by clicking the title of the piece to hear (if you have a midi player) the first few bars - normally of just the top part. Music Editions are produced, printed and distributed by volunteers in the society as a benefit to members and they will be happy to offer advice on these editions and on published alternatives. Free music - for VdGS members - click here for bar-less versions of Carmen in la and Carmen lamentacio by Senfl using Sibelius Scorch technology.
