Music/Publications:

New Music for Viol!! - Viol Fantasias - Now Available here to try for Free!

New Music Added July 27th, 2010!!

It seems like most of the fantasias for viols that were written during the renaissance have been found and published. Do you sometimes wish that more music had been composed for viols?? The music below is an attempt to create new music with the same style and feel as the old music. It is music written for viols by a long time viol player. Print a copy of the music for yourself, and play it with friends. I hope that you enjoy it. If you come back to www.vdgsne.org in the future there will be more music available. You can write me about what you liked about the music (or didn't like) at kathyandtomk@verizon.net.
