A great site. I play in a recorder group who play quite a lot of renaissance music. It's wonderful stuff. I just love the way the parts weave through each other.

Sorry Dick but if you are going to play Renaissance polyphony, you really need those dots.

I remember playing in Spem in Alium at an Early Music Summer School in Durham (UK) about 10 years ago. Everyone at the school was involved and it was whatever forces were available, voices, viols and recorders mainly and the "choirs" were mainly consorts of the same type of instrument. We were arranged in a circle (roughly - we were in a rectangular hall) and the conductor stood in the middle. The sound was magical. An experience to treasure.

I have a few midi files of early music ranging from the 13th to the 17th century and in one to six parts here They were originally created using Noteworthy Composer then exported to midi. Feel free to use them if you wish.
