Product description
Clifford Bartlett spent years playing continuo in performances of this work and thinking about the best way to present it for musicians. His edition dates from 1990, when he and Andrew Parrott (to whom, along with Philip Thorby, it is dedicated) first tackled the idea that the use of high clefs in some movements was a Baroque conceit implying that the music had to be transposed downwards. For the last 30 years, the colour of the cover distinguished between "high" pitch (blue) and "low" pitch (red). There were disagreements over the degree of transposition which resulted in various "green" versions. For this new incarnation, Brian Clark (who also typeset the original version in 1990!) decided to include Clifford's two preferred pitches in a single volume. Although that adds to the page count, modern printing technology means that the price can remain the same as it was in 1990!
Scoring: 10 voices (SSAATTTTBB), 3 cornetti, 3 trombones, 2 flutes/recorders, 2 violins, 4 "violas" (SATB), continuo.
