Chris May
The music here consists of, firstly, one-to-a-part arrangements for recorders intended for reasonably proficient amateur players..
and, secondly, a collection of practical editions for viols which are also often suitable for other instruments or singers.
I aim to make my editions playable by providing practical playing parts or playing scores.
At present all my music is free.
