Golden Age
Editions
I have prepared some
editions of music long out of copyright for the Singings and concerts of the
Queens Park Singers. I make no claims that these are at all scholarly, and
usually I have only cosulted various printed editions.
One bee in my bonnet concerns barlines; where the music
would originally have been read from single lines without barlines, I often
make editions with the parts properly lined up but still without the barlines.
I believe that the small inconvenience of each person having to work out and
mark up just where his/her entries are in relation to other parts is greatly
outweighed by the ability to see the lines of the polyphony without the
intrusion of barlines which are often quite at odds with the shape of the line
and the verbal stresses. If these are of use to you, please take copies and use
as you wish.
They are stored as PDF files. If
you do not have the Adobe reader installed please click here or

It would be good to hear from you
by email -- conductor@queensparksingers.org.uk
-- if you do take copies.
