Airs de Ballet for 2 viols (continuo ad lib)

A selection of 27 French baroque dances from the 17th and 18th centuries by a whole variety of composers including Lully, Daquin, de Visée, Laborde, Dornel, Couperin, Boismortier and others. The music is arranged for easy and intermediate levels, as an introduction for less experienced players to French baroque styles. It can be played on two viols, melody and bass, with an option to add a keyboard, theorbo, etc from figured bass. The solo part is mostly in alto clef, not going below bottom G, and can be played on a bass viol or tenor viol (if tenor players can read on their sixth string in bass clef). In the score the solo part is in treble clef so that treble viol players can also take the solo part if desired. From the series "French Music for Viols".
