Five Tune Settings for Solo Bass Viol


Five newly-composed settings of early melodies, each with its original source:  
18th-century Welsh lullaby Suo Gân; Questa dolce sirena, by Giovanni Gastoldi (c.1554 - 1609); O Darkest Woe, 17th-century German tenebrae hymn; The Third Tune for Archbishop Parker's Psalter, Thomas Tallis (c.1505 - 1585), entirely plucked & strummed; and Farewell dear love, Robert Jones (fl.1597 - 1615), plucked & bowed.  

For advanced players, though the original settings are appropriate for beginning to intermediate players.
