A new arrangement for flexible instrumentation is available in my shop. William Lawes was a composer of early 17th century consort music and is still today considered one of the most innovative English composers of the early Baroque period. This music has fascinated me for a long time now and I am embarking on a period of arranging these consort works so that they can be played in various instrumentations. That means, that each part appears in different clefs and transpositions, with the required range given at the start of each part. This could be a enriching concert experience or simply an interesting exercise for any group of 5 instruments.

The Suite No. 1 in G minor by William Lawes includes a score in C, and the 5 individual parts in 28 different transpositions or clefs.
