King's Music

Facsimiles and Editions of Early Music

Orchestral Music

NB: Search for text using your browser's search facility, usually Ctrl+F.

The items listed here are mostly facsimiles of 18th century editions, which were issued without scores.

A set comprises a part for each instrument listed; 'vlc, db, kbd' indicates that the set includes three parts, not that the parts are necessarily different. Parts for keyboard are included in a set when modern scores are not readily available; when not indicated, they may be ordered as extra parts. (Suitable modern scores may be ordered through King's Music: specify whether large-size or miniature are required.)

When both concertino and ripieno bass parts are figured, we normally supply two of each (cello and kbd concertino, cello and double-bass ripieno); if a second keyboard part is ordered, we will supply an additional ripieno part unless instructed otherwise.

If your order is more complicated than a complete set, please either list exactly what parts you require, or state the forces you are using and we will provide the appropriate parts.

We assume that keyboard players will read from figured bass parts; we do not provide realised parts. Most computer-set editions lack fully-figured basses, so scores will generally be required for the harpsichordist.
