A sequel to First Solos for the Viol, this book provides a basic repertoire of Italian, French, English, Spanish and German music, mostly with a continuo part. These are "performing" pieces selected to be within the range of a competent though less experienced player.

UOEDM11 During its climax, the viol had a reputation for being able to imitate the finest nuances of the human voice and express the deepest feeling of the soul. At the end of the XVIII century, as it was considered too difficult and aristocratic, it became obsolete with respect to the new standards prevailing during that pre-revolutionary period, and it was rapidly deposed by the cello. This last was promoted throughout the whole of Europe by some virtuosi, mostly Italian. And so also Wilhelm Friedrich II, king of Prussia, at first pupil (by correspondence) of Forqueray the son, passed later on to the cello, under the guidance of Duport. In these last years the viol has found its splendour again, and its beautiful repertory, supported by some excellent musicians in concerts, recordings — even at the cine­ma — has obtained the recognition of the wide public and of certain institutions, which have included it in their teaching courses. The teaching of the Ancients, mostly based on direct transmittion and on the imitation of the teacher, has left us only few treatises, often lapidary and adaptable with difficulty to our current didactic methods. Thus, the apprentices of viol, having to face up to the venture of referring to a tradition which was interrupted for two centuries, will certainly welcome this new method with satisfaction. Intentionally devoid of photos and commentaries, this method does not intend to replace the living example of the teacher, but provides, in the form of progressive exercises, an essential help to the development of a synthetic and personal technique on the instrument. Many countries have recognized since long time the advantages offered by the viol in approaching the pleasures of music at different levels: – the different sizes making up the viol family allows the child to grow up having the experience of a superb ensemble repertory; – its humble but essential support role in the basso continuo aids the understanding of the musical structure; – its solo repertory, covering a wide range of styles, contains pieces by composers of great genius.

A reprint (with some additional new material) of the original OUP edition of Alison Crum's essential work for beginner's technique on the viol. The perfect starter collection for any viol player!

Trecento - 12 Songs and instrumental pieces from fourteenth-century Italy (1330-1400) - Trouvere Medieval Minstrels This is the fifth in the series of booklets of medieval music produced by Paul Leigh and Gill Page of Trouvere. These booklets are our own editions of medieval pieces, and in all cases based on our own examination of the original sources in facsimile. They are intended as introductory collections for anyone who is interested in playing medieval music and can read modern musical notation. ‘Trecento’ focuses on two fourteenth-century manuscripts of Italian music: the Rossi Codex 215, and British Library Add. Ms. 29987, two of the outstanding sources for music of the Italian trecento. The first, the Codex Rossiano 215, contains a collection of polyphonic and monophonic songs, from which we have selected two madrigals and four ballate. British Library Add. Ms 29987 also contains vocal music but is perhaps better known for its pages of instrumental dance music, and we have selected several of these tunes. The Songs: 1 Quanto i oselli canta 2 Chiamando, un' astorella 3 Che ti zova 4 Amor mi fa cantar 5 Per tropo fede 6 Lucente stella The Dances 7 Ghaetta 8 Belicha 9 Saltarello Two 10 Saltarello Four 11 Lamento di Tristano & La Rotta 12 La Manfredina & La Rotta della Manfredina
